Book by Lewin Roger
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
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 Supplement "Not 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'. . . . Bones of Contention is . . . serious intellectual history". -Edward Dolnick, Wall Street Journal "[Lewin] documents his thesis in persuasive detail. . . . The reader is carried along by the power of Mr. Lewin's reporting". -Robert Wright, New York Times Book Review
