The Fossil Trail

This book surveys the history of human evolution studies. The author begins with the 18th-century French naturalist, the Comte de Buffon, and concludes with recent evidence that homo sapiens and Neanderthals coexisted on the planet. In addition, he addresses speculation about a possible rescue of humanity from itself by additional evolution. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
