520    Was Darwin wrong when he traced our origins to Africa? The
       Real Planet of the Apes makes the explosive claim that it 
       was in Europe, not Africa, where apes evolved the most 
       important hallmarks of our human lineage--such as 
       bipedalism, dexterous hands, and larger brains. In this 
       compelling and accessible book, David Begun, one of the 
       world's leading paleoanthropologists, transports readers 
       to an epoch in the remote past when the Earth was home to 
       many migratory populations of ape species. Drawing on the 
       latest astonishing discoveries in the fossil record as 
       well as his own experiences conducting field expeditions 
       across Europe and Asia, Begun provides a sweeping 
       evolutionary history of great apes and humans. He tells 
       the story of how one of the earliest members of our 
       evolutionary group-- a new kind of primate called 
       Proconsul-- evolved from lemur-like monkeys in the 
       primeval forests of Africa. Begun vividly describes how, 
       over the next 10 million years, these hominoids expanded 
       into Europe and Asia and evolved climbing and hanging 
       adaptations, longer maturation times, and larger brains, 
       setting the stage for the emergence of humans.
