Java Man: How Two Geologists' Dramatic Discoveries Changed Our Understanding of the Human Evolution - Couverture souple
Synopsis
"'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.
