About this title

Synopsis

This book takes all the existing theories about human evolution into account, traditional and revolutionary. Drawing on many specialised fields - anthroplogy, anatomy, molecular biology, climatology, geophysics, sociology, linguistics, computer technology - they examine all the evidence, and its implications. For the general reader they open a window on a world of research and discovery, while for fellow scientists they throw down a challenge that can no longer be ignored. The argument is lively and impassioned, and its conclusions controversial.
