description: In this highly readable new book, the authors take us down the twisting corridors through which our species traveled in the two-million-year odyssey from Homo habilis to modern man. They ask why, out of the millions of species that have emerged and gone extinct, human beings alone took the last, abrupt journey to high intelligence and advanced culture.
