"This could be the ultimate book on our origins. For the first time, Chris Beard sheds light on a hitherto little-known yet highly controversial area of paleontology--the search for the ancestry of monkeys, apes and, ultimately, humans."--Henry Gee, author of "In Search of Deep Time " "Beard's book is the "Lucy "of anthropoid origins--an adventure story of scientific discovery in exotic places that introduces the reader to some interesting personalities of primate paleontology."--John G.
