| Summary/Abstract |
This story has been pieced together from a myriad of fossil finds, prehistoric cave paintings, discarded stone tools, and traces of ancient genetic material. In this account, Robin McKie, Science Editor of The Observer, unravels the saga of how these discoveries form a picture of our ancestors' lives. It is a scientific detective story full of paleontologist-detectives whose intellect and foibles add to the adventure. The story arrives at a revelation of how our world became dominated by a single primate species: Homo sapiens.
