Item description from seller

Stated First Edition. 454pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, appears unread, in Very Good condition. "In 1856, at the very time when Charles Darwin was writing The Origin of Species, which would popularize the revolutionary concept of evolution worldwide, the fossilized remains of a stocky, powerful, human-like creature were discovered in a German valley called Neander Tal. The bones were believed by some scientists to have belonged to a primitive version of modern man. But how old were they? [] Thus began a controversy that has continued to this day, swirling around the origins and interpretation of the Neanderthals, placing them at every possible location on our family tree. Now, Erik Trinkaus, one of the world's leading experts on Neanderthals, has collaborated with the noted scientist and writer Pat Shipman on a sweeping and definitive examination of what we know and how we've come to know it." [jacket copy] "A remarkable account of humankind, both ancient and modern, told with clarity, precision, and the narrative pull of a good novel."--Jean Auel, Washington Post Book World. "An important book. . . For anyone interested in the subject of human origins, the Neanderthals have had particular significance, and this book about them will also. It is remarkably complete, and seldom has it been possible to find out so much between the covers of a popular work."--Richard Leakey. "Good science, good history, good writing, and good entertainment. A definitive work on the quintessential caveman."--David Pilbeam. "Through a masterful combination of careful scholarship and clever narrative, the authors have given us an account of Neanderthals that is at once authoritative and delightful to read. . . A must."--Roger Lewin. "Sketching in the lives of hundred of scientists and their discoveries, conclusions, blunders, and foibles. . . THE NEANDERTHALS could stand as a textbook for a course in the history of science. . . Gripping."--The New York Times Book Review. Very good hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a mostly square & tight binding, wrapped in a Good, intact jacket.
