The Origins of modern humans: A world survey of the fossil evidence [signed]

Pp. xxii, 590; numerous text-figures (black-and-white photos, line drawings of hominin skulls, charts and graphs). Publisher's original light gray cloth, lettered in blue on the spine and front cover, blue and white dust jacket, thick lg 8vo. This edited volume, based on contributions from 16 authors spanning six countries is a ground-breaking review. "This is the first book to correlate the hominin fossil record from a worldwide perspective, and the first major review to appear since 1958" (from the jacket flap). The lengthy review of the hominin fossil record of Central Europe by Fred Smith is especially important as it surveys fossils that have generally been overlooked in previous studies.
