Description

The Making of Mankind by Richard E. Leaky. 'Were do we come from? The need to understand ourselves, to discover the truth about our past, is a basic human characteristic. How did an ape-like creature called Ramapithecus which lived fourteen million years ago evolve into an upright-walking, highly intelligent, sensitive, skilful and inventive being? A being so much a master of its environment that it can transform it - or destroy it? What, eventually, made our ancestors human? In this book, Richard Leakey has created a lasting record of his compelling television series, The Making of Mankind. Full of breathtaking photographs which recall the many places where the series was filmed, with maps which pinpoint the exact locations of the various archaeological sites making this book a unique and fascinating record of the evolution of mankind.' The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with curling along the top and bottom edges and some small spot stains. The book remains in a tight and tidy condition.
