The Man Who Found the Missing Link: Eugene Dubois and His Lifelong Quest to Prove Darwin Right - Softcover
Synopsis
Born eighteen months after the first Neanderthal skeleton was found and a year before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, Eugene Dubois vowed to discover a powerful truth in Darwin's deceptively simple ideas. There is a link, he declared, a link as yet unknown, between apes and Man.
It takes a brilliant writer to elucidate a brilliant mind, and Pat Shipman shines as never before. The Man Who Found the Missing Link is an irresistible tale of adventure, scientific daring, and a strange and enduring love--and it is true.

Review
Roger Lewin author of "Java Man" Eugene Dubois was the first scientist actively to seek fossils of our ancestors, rather than awaiting serendipitous discoveries, but his importance is too often overlooked. In this deeply researched and beautifully crafted book, Pat Shipman envelops the reader in one of the greatest scientific and life dramas of all time. A masterpiece!
