Synopsis
"The name Leakey is synonymous with the study of human origins," wrote The New York Times. The renowned family of paleontologists -- Louis Leakey, Mary Leakey, and their son Richard Leakey -- has vastly expanded our understanding of human evolution. The Origin of Humankind is Richard Leakey's personal view of the development of Homo Sapiens. At the heart of his new picture of evolution is the introduction of a heretical notion: once the first apes walked upright, the evolution of modern humans became possible and perhaps inevitable. From this one evolutionary step comes all the other evolutionary refinements and distinctions that set the human race apart from the apes. In fascinating sections on how and why modern humans developed a social organization, culture, and personal behavior, Leakey has much of interest to say about the development of art, language, and human consciousness., "The name Leakey is synonymous with the study of human origins," wrote The New York Times.

    Waited 8 days after purchase, seller still hadn’t sent item. Reached out, and they lied and blamed the post office. I showed them screenshots of tracking showing the post office hadn’t even received the item. They sent the item after I reached out, then lied some more. When it finally arrived I sent them a photo of the label THEY created with the date AFTER the date they said they sent it. They could have just been honest. Don’t trust this liar.

    Excellent seller who carefully packaged and then promptly shipped my order. I ordered three items that day and received yours before the others even shipped. Highly recommend.
