"Evolution is constantly at work as features change or are co-opted for a different task and time"
This book, on top of being a first person memoir of the attempt at the standardization of paleo anthropology by the Leakey family, is also an in-depth look at our own evolution from bone study to genetic anthropological breakthroughs. In the end, it is an extant survey of certain parts of African fossil hunting and sedimentary study.
This book also makes great assumptions: that the reader either has knowledge of history and fossil morphology and some rudimentary knowledge of physical science. Without these, the book would be of little interest. More than an autobiography but just short of a textbook, it's interesting but not life changing.
