Mankind in the Making: The Story of Human Evolution William Howells

A comprehensive and authoritative book on evolution.

The most comprehensive and authori-tative book available on human evolu-tion, this revised edition of MANKIND IN THE MAKING incorporates all that has been learned about the subject in the last seven years, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, and in the Middle East. It modifies and enlarges the already clas-sic text of the first edition.
"The facts bearing on evolution to-day," writes the author, "compared with those known a century ago, are as a whale to a mouse, and all these facts fall neatly into place in general evolutionary theory." This general the-ory begins with a differentiation be-tween man and his "relatives" - the vertebrates, the mammals, and the primates. Dr. Howells demonstrates how man acquired his skeleton, mus-cles, and brain from the fish; how he wrested the gift of locomotion from the reptile; and how, through contin-uous natural selection, he evolved into a warm-blooded mammal who grew hair and bore live offspring.
The book shows how in the light of modern evidence-"man" may ac-tually have appeared 12 million years ago, and how the findings of Dr. Louis Leakey in Kenya have modified an-thropologists' theories about the be-ginnings of tool-making.
A standard work in its original edi-tion, MANKIND IN THE MAKING is now a richer, more comprehensive, more solid book than ever. It is the definitive text for all students of anthropology, both here and abroad.
