Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 923-931 pages whit photographs and bibliography. Quarto (11" x 8 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 60 Number 5. complete issue. First edition. During his stay in Northern Rhodesia in July 1955, S. L. Washburn (1957), as he reports, spent enough time in the Wankie Game Reserve to examine in one area 35 recent kills presumably made by lions and feasted upon by them and subsequently "by numerous other animals such as jackals, hyenas, civets and wild dogs. . Fourteen of the kills were warthogs and only two of their skeletons were in great measure preserved, while seven of sixteen large antelope and zebra skeletons almost wholly remained." Washburn concluded from this brief investigation that "the frequency of jaws, skulls, and upper cervical vertebrae in the australopithecine deposits is not necessarily evidence for hunting, head hunting or human activities, but may be due to selective eating by carnivores." If, when writing his article, Washburn had been able to study my more extensive work (Dart 1957a) on the osteodontokeratic culture of Australopithecus prometheus, he would doubtless have appreciated that it was not merely the frequency of jaws, skull, and upper cervical vertebrae in the Makapansgat deposit but also the condition in which these objects were found and the known purposes for which they have been employed by mankind that supported my contention of head hunting on the part of Australopithecus. The numerical comparison that Washburn legitimately draws between the state of ungulate and other game skeletons, after Carnivora are finished with them, and australopithecine bone deposits was first brought to my attention a decade ago by Peter Mihalik, who was then Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anatomy here. Having at that time recently arrived from Hungary, where he had done much hunting, Mihalik was deeply impressed by the comparability of the osteodontokeratic contents of the cave deposit at Makapansgat and the remnants of carnivore feasts found in Europe. "Carnivores," he said "first attack the belly; they eat from below upwards." The australopithecine puzzle does not lie in this sort of broad numerical resemblance between the bony contents of australopithecine deposits and the remnants of the carnivore kills which Washburn has corroborated. The principal puzzle is that the remnants of carnivore kills are found, as Washburn found them, out in the open in the immediate vicinity of the sites where the kills were made, whereas the australopithecine bone breccias are found in dolomitic caverns into which they must have been transported. At this point one necessarily asks, "who did the transporting?" I have been bringing forward evidence for over thirty years to show that the transporting agents were the australopithecines. Condition: Edge wear with gently bumped corners, spine sunned else very good.

Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The subject of this book concerns the author's reflection on his life of over eighty years. From a humble beginning, mainly in a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, the author weaves an interesting story of a life guided by principles gleaned from both of his parents and his faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Growing from childhood to adulthood, the author outlines his experiences as he moves from school, to life as a teacher, to his tertiary education, to his married life and children and spends some time telling some snippets of his travels around the world. He credits his progress through life and its vicissitudes to his love for his Lord, and his faith in a living Saviour.
