ISBN 10: 0226787346 ISBN 13: 9780226787343
Language: English
First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used copy! Black and white pictorial wrapper with blue and tan lettering. 256 historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! ""'Garniss, lend me your knife for a second, will you,' I whispered." So begins Java Man, the inside story of how one discovery?a human skull found on the island of Java?by two geologists shook the foundations of science. By uncovering new evidence about the hominid known as Java man, Carl C. Swisher and Garniss H. Curtis were able to date his fossil remains at 1.7 million years, an age that stunned the scientific community because it pushed back the time when humans migrating out of Africa first reached Eurasia by nearly one million years. Cowritten by the popular science writer Roger Lewin, this is a gripping and informative account of the discovery that breathed new life into the human origins debate.".

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. There is an attractive bookplate to the front paste down. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition, it has been covered in clear removable, mylar, protective film. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. In October 1887, Dutch physician Eugene Dubois set sail for the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), in pursuit of the 'missing link' that would prove man was a descendant of the apes. Unable to gain funding for his project, Dubois joined his country's army, making time for fossil hunting in between his regular duties. His discovery of a fossilised skullcap and femur led him to the conclusion of the existence of what he called Anthropithecus erectus, more commonly known as 'Java Man'. Dubois' find, together with subsequent discoveries, such as the 'Mojokerto child' in 1936, revolutionised conventional thinking about mankind's origin. Now recent scientific developments in the field of geochronology have turned anthropology on its head once more. Using advanced dating techniques, Carl Swisher and Garniss Curtis returned to the fossil finds of Indonesia and made an amazing discovery: the fossils were far older than had previously been thought, firm evidence that homo erectus had been in Indonesia two million years ago. The find solved the question of why it supposedly took homo erectus so long to migrate from Africa - the truth was the movement had actually occurred far earlier. But the geochronologists did not stop there. As well as finding evidence for the existence of homo erectus in Indonesia earlier than before, they also found evidence that the species existed far more recently, as little as 30,000 years ago. And this discovery points the way to a fundamental rethink of human evolution. Rather than a steady 'sapienization' from two million years ago to the recent past, the evidence suggests that several species co-existed on Earth, including Neanderthal Man, and for whatever reason - economic competition, violent confrontation - it was homo sapiens that drive the others to extinction. Ref TT 7.
