419 Pages. No defects noted. How did we go about filling nearly every niche on earth from the Artic tundra to the tropical forests. This is the story of our evolution beginning in Africa around 6 million years ago with a groud ape feeding on all fours to the upright, big brained ape that developed tools and technology, consciousness and language, kinship and culture, the use of fire and cooking, and most importantly, curiosity. How did we become the only animal capabel of creating art, literature and music; science, philosophy, and religion, and of course, sports. Science is making inroads into our past at an accelerating pace. Adding genetics, linguistics, climatology, ecology, sociology and many other disciplines to the basic studies of geology, archeology, and anthropology all which have provided a quantum leap in our knowledge over the past 20 years or so.
