The Fossil Chronicles: How Two Controversial Discoveries Changed Our View of Human Evolution Hardcover - 2011
by Dean Falk
From the rear cover
"With wit and authority, Falk tells the parallel stories of two fossil discoveries that surprised the world, revealing the larger significance of these finds. Her lively recounting combines new historical research with her first-hand involvement in controversial interpretations."--Pat Shipman, author of The Animal Connection and The Man Who Found the Missing Link
"An absorbing and engagingly personal account, by a leading participant, of two of the major "brain wars" that have raged along the path to our current understanding of human evolution."--Ian Tattersall, author of The Fossil Trail and Human Origins
"In The Fossil Chronicles, Falk engages us with a 'tale of two brains'. While navigating the surfaces of these ancient brains, she reveals the convolutions of scientific controversies and how personalities and paleopolitics shape the ways we think about human evolution."--Nina G. Jablonski, author of Skin: A Natural History
