Early man / F. Clark Howell and the editors of Time-Life Books.

Part of the illustrative matter is colored.

The author Dr. Howell, offers the readers his educated suggestion on day-to-day problems and general conditions of life in the ancient past, and on the actual uses man made of his tools. It also discusses the existence of cannibalism in prehistory with the detached distaste it deserves. The discussion of what constitutes a species is such an idea - a major one in biology - which will become more important in future considerations of man's evolution. Without the views that the author has illustrated in this book, we would just say that the fossils of man are nothing but more than bones.
