PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Missing Links: In Search of Human Origins

This is the story of the search for humanitys originsfrom the Middle Ages when questions of the earths antiquity first began to arise through to the latest genetic discoveries that show the interrelatedness of all living creaturesCentral to the story is the part played by fossilsfirst 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 Readers lifelong passion for this questpalaeoanthropologybegan 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 discoveriesNeanderthal 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 breakthroughsdating technology genetics and molecular biologythat have enabled us to set the fossil evidence in the context of human evolutionBoasting seventyfive original color photographstaken by the author specifically for this bookMissing Links offers a wealth of scientific insight. After 1918 the League of Nations developed a comprehensive machinery for guaranteeing the national minorities of eastern Europe But by 1940 the Leagues policies were widely regarded as a failure and the coalition of forces which had supported them a E. ngine Optimisation.

Bones of Contention is a behind-the-scenes look at the search for human origins. Analyzing how the biases and preconceptions of paleoanthropologists shaped their work, Roger Lewin\'s 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] un-put-downable book.—John Gribbon, Times Educational SupplementNot just another \'stones and bones\' account of human evolution. It is Lewin\'s 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 eye-opening account, to be devoured.—Kirkus Reviews, starred review [Lewin shows] \'how very unscientific the process of scientific inquiry can be.\'. . .

The reader is carried along by the power of Mr. Lewin\'s reporting.—Robert Wright, New York Times Book Review 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 While those who study human origns now agree that the evolution of the modern human form extends back much further in time than originally thought, they disagree sharply as to how to interpret the substantive data. The purpose of this volume is to examine those conceptual differences and to explore the reasons why a consensus might never be possible. 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?
