520 1  "This book tells the story of human evolution, the epic of
       Homo sapiens and its colorful precursors and relatives. 
       The story begins in Africa, six to seven million years ago,
       and encompasses twenty-two known human species, of which 
       Homo sapiens is the sole survivor. Illustrated with 
       spectacular, three-dimensional scientific reconstructions 
       portrayed in their natural habitat - the result of 
       creative collaboration between physical anthropologist 
       G.J. Sawyer of the American Museum of Natural History and 
       paleoartist Viktor Deak, in consultation with experts from
       around the world - the book is both a guide to extinct 
       human species and an astonishing hominid family photo 
       album."--BOOK JACKET.
