Human paleontology is something everybody is interested in; I certainly can’t claim any expertise here, but it was instructive to have all this material in one handy reference source. It will be out of date fairly soon, of course (despite a 2007 publication date). The only obvious flaw I could find is the “short stories” sometimes do not mesh with the technical descriptions; for example, a “story” will depict something as fully bipedal while the technical description will note that the limb fossils support a normally quadrupedal gait with only occasional bipedalism. I suspect there may not have been much communication between the editors here.
This has a fairly high list price, which is not surprising given the number of color illustrations, but I was able to get mine on remainder for about 50% off. I’d recommend it if you have any interesting in the subject.… (altro)
