The Making of Mankind

After near forty years this book cannot help but be a little outdated, yet it comes from a time when the rigours of modern scientific enquiry and the discoveries by then made had laid down the fundamental theories and ideas about human evolution that still stand today. Allowing, therefore, that you may afterwards wish to catch up on the latest developments, this book provides an excellent introduction to the subject. Clear, lucid, and intelligently presented to a general audience, and well supported by photographs, maps and drawings.
