About This Item
Signed.Richard Leakey, one of the most respected and influential scientists of our time, takes us on a brilliant and provocative journey through human history. Beginning with his landmark discoveries at Lake Turkana, and including his fascinating reassessment of how we became 'human'--And what, after all, being human really means - Leakey concludes with a glimpse of what our evolutionary future may hold. For Leakey the most compelling question is no longer 'How did we physically evolve?' It is, instead, "How did we become human?" Copy of Time magazine article about Leakey from July 1993 included. The book is in very good condition. Pages are unmarked and uncreased. Cloth boards clean and tight. DJ is very good: unclipped, clean, minor wear at extremities. Signed by Leakey in black pen on title page. List of related points in possibly the same hand on previous page. See photos, all of which are of the actual copy for sale. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 375pp with B&W photos, index
