"An appealing account of human evolution and the fiercely
competitive anthropologists who are unearthing our ancestors'
remains and arguing over what they mean.... The author does a
superb job of describing the nuts-and-bolts of field research, the
meaning of the often headline-producing findings and the
ever-changing variety of species who split off from the common
ancestors of chimpanzees and hominids."
