Bones of Contention is a behindthescenes look at the search for human origins Analyzing how the biases and preconceptions of paleoanthropologists shaped their work Roger Lewins detective stories about the discovery of Neanderthal Man the Taung Child Lucy and other major fossils provide insight into this most subjective of scientific endeavors The new afterword looks at ways in which paleoanthropology while becoming more scientific in many ways remains contentious An unputdownable bookJohn Gribbon Times Educational SupplementNot just another stones and bones account of human evolution It is Lewins thesis amply demonstrated that paleoanthropology is the most subjective of sciences because it engages the emotions of virtually everyone and since the evidence is scrappy interpretation is everything A splendid stirring and eyeopening account to be devouredKirkus Reviews starred review Lewin shows how very unscientific the process of scientific inquiry can be Bones of Contention is serious intellectual historyEdward Dolnick Wall Street JournalLewin documents his thesis in persuasive detail The reader is carried along by the power of Mr Lewins reportingRobert Wright New York Times Book Review. of RT Tasks onto a .

One of the greatest scientific discoveries of the century, this is the story of Alan Walker\'s discovery of Nariokotome boy, arguably one of the most important human fossils ever found, and how it came to illuminate the difference between modern man and our nearest ancestors. of photos & 13 illustrations within the text. A richly illustrated account of the story of ancient vinicultureThe history of civilization is, in many ways, the history of wine. This book is the first comprehensive account of the earliest stages of the history and prehistory of viniculture, which extends back into the Neolithic period and beyond. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Ancient Wine opens up whole new chapters in the fascinating story of wine by drawing on recent archaeological discoveries, molecular and DNA sleuthing, and the writings and art of ancient peoples. In a new afterword, the author discusses exciting recent developments in the understanding of ancient wine, including a new theory of how viniculture came to central and northern Europe. When it comes to human evolution, only the fossils tell the real story. With over thirty-five years of research in the areas of creationism and evolutionism, Professor Marvin Lubenow seeks to disprove both the philosophical and scientific untruths in the theory of human evolution. It is a long time since I have been as enthusiastic about a book on human evolution as I am about Richard Klein\'s The Human Career.--Leslie Aiello, Times Higher Education Supplement[This book] will set a standard by which future books, setting out the course of human evolution, may measure their success.--Bobby Joe Williams, Quarterly Review of BiologyThe best introduction to the problems and data of modern palaeoanthropology yet published.--Penny Dransart, Antiquity One of the greatest scientific discoveries of the century, this is the story of Alan Walker\'s discovery of Nariokotome boy, arguably one of the most important human fossils ever found, and how it came to illuminate the difference between modern man and our nearest ancestors. of photos & 13 illustrations within the text. Ever since the first discovery of their bones, the Neanderthals have provoked controversy. Who were they? How were they related to modern people? What caused their disappearance 35,000 years ago? The Neanderthals have become the archetype of all that is primitive. But what is their true story? This is the story of the search for humanity\'s origins--from the Middle Ages, when questions of the earth\'s antiquity first began to arise, through to the latest genetic discoveries that show the interrelatedness of all living creatures.Central to the story is the part played by fossils--first, in establishing the age of the Earth then, following Darwin, in the pursuit of possible Missing Links that would establish whether or not humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. John Reader\'s lifelong passion for this quest--palaeoanthropology--began when he reported on the celebrated Lucy finds in Ethiopia, for Life Magazine. Drawing on both historic and recent research, he tells the fascinating story of the science as it has developed from the activities of a few dedicated individuals, into the rigorous multidisciplinary work of today. His arresting photographs give a unique insight into the fossils, the discoverers, and the settings. His vivid narrative reveals both the context in which our ancestors evolved, and also the realities confronting the modern scientist. The story he tells is peopled by eccentrics and enthusiasts, and punctuated by controversy and even fraud. It is a celebration of discoveries--Neanderthal Man in the 1850s, Java Man (1891), Australopithecus (1925), Peking Man (1926), Homo habilis (1964) and beyond. It is a story of fragmentary shards of evidence, and the competing interpretations built upon them. And it is a tale of scientific breakthroughs--dating technology, genetics and molecular biology--that have enabled us to set the fossil evidence in the context of human evolution.Boasting seventy-five original color photographs--taken by the author, specifically for this book--Missing Links offers a wealth of scientific insight. Ever since the recognition of the Neanderthals as an archaic human in the mid-nineteenth century, the fossilized bones of extinct humans have been used by paleoanthropologists to explore human origins. These bones told the story of how the earliest humans—bipedal apes, actually—first emerged in Africa some 6 to 7 million years ago. Starting about 2 million years ago, the bones revealed, as humans became anatomically and behaviorally more modern, they swept out of Africa in waves into Asia, Europe and finally the New World.Even as paleoanthropologists continued to make important discoveries—Mary Leakey’s Nutcracker Man in 1959, Don Johanson’s Lucy in 1974, and most recently Martin Pickford’s Millennium Man, to name just a few—experts in genetics were looking at the human species from a very different angle. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick first saw the double helix structure of DNA, the basic building block of all life. In the 1970s it was shown that humans share 98.7% of their genes with the great apes—that in fact genetically we are more closely related to chimpanzees than chimpanzees are to gorillas. And most recently the entire human genome has been mapped—we now know where each of the genes on the chromosomes that make up DNA is located on the double helix.In Human Origins: What Bones and Genomes Tell Us about Ourselves, two of the world’s foremost scientists, geneticist Rob DeSalle and paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall, show how research into the human genome confirms what fossil bones have told us about human origins. This unprecedented integration of the fossil and genomic records provides the most complete understanding possible of humanity’s place in nature, its emergence from the rest of the living world, and the evolutionary processes that have molded human populations to be what they are today.Human Origins serves as a companion volume to the American Museum of Natural History’s new permanent exhibit, as well as standing alone as an accessible overview of recent insights into what it means to be human.
