This story of the origins of humans, explains how we developed from apes into modern humans. It includes: the first human footprint; the radical re-drawing of European man's family tree; DNA evidence of the interbreeding which occured as the first humans evoloved; and the future of human evolution.

Although the name Pithecanthropus is now seldom used, there are few who study the origin of our species who will fail to recognise the historical place of the usage and its association with Eugene Dubois. During the last thirty or forty years, Australopithecus and its African context has tended to draw attention from the early work on our origins in Java. It is now increasingly common to hear the term 'pithecanthropine' used only to indicate the Asian or Far Eastern examples of Homo erectus which, although probably derived from African ancestry, have some features that in the opinion of some experts may justify their being considered distinctive. This discussion is not within the pages that follow which deal extensively with the work of Eugene Dubois. He was an extraordinary man who did as much as any person since to put the great antiquity of our ancestors firmly in the public domain. Dubois became involved with the study of human origins from a medical and anatomical background as have many since. The jealousies and professional pressures that we think of as a phenomenon of the post-war years were clearly a major factor in deciding the future of his career.

A follow-up to the award-winning Dinosaur , this book ties in with a four-part Anglo-American television series on the story of evolution and of the people who have devoted their lives to discovering the truth about our origins. It is based on interviews with scientists throughout the world.

This interdisciplinary dissertation explores the archetype of the "ape-man" from a phenomenological perspective, with its genesis and present continuation dependent on extant and accreted human behavior and morphology. In order to ascertain the embedded components of the ape-man archetype, an identikit ape-man as a discrete phenomenon is derived after the examination of cross-cultural examples world-wide. Next, this discrete phenomenon and its constituent parts are compared both to extant ape species' behavior and morphology and the paleoanthropological evidence to determine in what ways -- if any -- components of each are reflected accurately in the phenomenon. Utilizing concepts in the fields of cultural and physical anthropology, ethology, psychology, and philosophy, this dissertation asserts as its conclusion that the archetype of the ape-man is a result of accreted and enacted collective memories, and reflects an important phenomenon integral to human thought and form.

The authors here offer a history and interpretation of the reception of Darwinism in Argentina, illuminating the ways culture shapes scientific enterprise. They reveal new ways of understanding Latin American science and its impact on the scientific communities of Europe and North America.

APE’s thesis is powerful yet simple: filling the roles of Author, Publisher and Entrepreneur yields results that rival traditional publishing.

The native peoples of North America are the source of the oldest stories about Sasquatch. Tales circulated about a "wild man of the woods," and several newspapers reported of scary encounters by hunters and trappers during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The legend of Bigfoot was born. This enthralling book recounts the long history of the Bigfoot myth, lore, and sightings, adopting a judicious, even-handed approach to the evidence and claims. It also examines the claims made for similar ape-men figures, like the Yeti, the Skunk Ape, the Maricoxi, the Australian Yowie, the Asian Wild Man, and the Orang Pendek. Rich in lore, legend, and lush imagery, this book may make you reconsider everything you thought you knew and believed to be true about the "Big Man."
