Synopsis
Renowned anthropologist, author, and educator, William Howells, draws together here the latest from all today's sciences to tell the fascinating story of our evolution. Professor Emeritus at Harvard and author of Mankind So Far, The Heathens, Back of History, and Mankind in the Making, all of which have been widely translated, Howells has long been recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities and interpreters of human evolution. He is also known for his unique contribution of skull measurements to show relationships between peoples that are not otherwise evident. In 1992, he received the Charles Darwin Award for Lifetime Achievement. His latest edition includes a generous selection of superb illustrations showing fossils, hominids reconstructed, charts of human migrations, and other graphic displays of scientific data. Like many of his earlier books, Getting Here has been widely acclaimed as an introduction to human evolution for the lay reader as well as an outstanding college text.
