Ancestors: A Look at Human Evolutionary History - Paperback

by Lenny Flank (Author)

The sweep of human evolutionary history extends back more than 7 million years, from the time of Sahelanthropus and Orrorin to the time of "Lucy" and Neanderthals and Denisovans. This book examines that evolutionary history, taking a look at each proposed hominin species, their fossil representatives, and the scientific debates over where they fit into the story of humankind. Illustrated.
