A103 Human Evolution
Finally, this fascinating subject is explored in detail.
It shows six steps in human evolution. It begins with
Australopithecus africanus of 3.68 million years ago,
then progresses through Paranthropus robustus, Homo
habilis, H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis and, finally,
to anatomically modern man, Homo sapiens, of 30,000
years ago. Each of the main sections explores a single
species. A highly detailed illustration provides insights
into anatomical features, lifestyles and culture. Each is
accompanied by a caption summarizing our knowledge. It is
followed by line drawings of the tools produced by each
culture and a globe or map showing where they lived. An
abundance of additional information is presented through
insets that cover a broad range of topics, such as
tool-making techniques, the relationship of brain size to
body mass, time charts, migration patterns, relationship to
other species and much, much more.
