Reprinted with revisions 1981.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did our ancestors become human, and what can the traces they left behind reveal about their lives? In The Making of Mankind, Richard E. Leakey explores human evolution through fossils, archaeological discoveries and the changing interpretation of prehistoric evidence. From our relationship with other primates and the development of upright walking to the spread of early humans and the emergence of art, he considers the biological and cultural changes that shaped humanity. Accounts of excavations and the search for human ancestors show how scientific ideas develop from fragmentary remains, while photographs, maps and illustrations bring the evidence into focus. Reflecting the discoveries and debates of its time, this illustrated survey offers general readers an engaging introduction to the enduring questions surrounding human origins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67955452215508,"sku":"TVJ-035151","price":46.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-035024-1_28f6bc73-6357-4375-a5a6-f1a993b30a72.jpg?v=1792719333","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-035151","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
