All pictures are stock photos. The condition of the item you will receive is NM - dust jacket VG+. Our grading system is explained in the terms of sale section of our bookseller page. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description:In The Fossil Trail, Ian Tattersall, the head of the Anthropology Department at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us on a sweeping tour of the study of human evolution, offering a colorful history of fossil discoveries and a revealing insider's look at how these finds have been interpreted--and misinterpreted--through time. All the major figures and discoveries are here. We meet Lamarck and Cuvier and Darwin (we learn that Darwin's theory of evolution, though a bombshell, was very congenial to a Victorian ethos of progress), right up to modern theorists such as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould. Tattersall describes Dubois's work in Java, the many discoveries in South Africa by pioneers such as Raymond Dart and Robert Broom, Louis and Mary Leakey's work at Olduvai Gorge, Don Johanson's famous discovery of "Lucy" (a 3.4 million-year-old female hominid, some 40% complete), and the more recent discovery of the "Turkana Boy," even more complete than "Lucy," and remarkably similar to modern human skeletons. He discusses the many techniques available to analyze finds, from fluorine analysis (developed in the 1950s, it exposed Piltdown as a hoax) and radiocarbon dating to such modern techniques as electron spin resonance and the analysis of human mitochondrial DNA. He gives us a succinct picture of what we presently think our "family tree" looks like, with at least three genera and perhaps a dozen species through time (though he warns that this greatly underestimates the actual diversity of hominids over the past two million or so years). And he paints a vivid, insider's portrait of paleoanthropology, the dogged work in the broiling sun, searching for a tooth, or a fractured corner of bone, amid stone litter and shadows, with no guarantee of ever finding anything. And perhaps most important, Tattersall looks at all these great researchers and discoveries within the context of their social and scientific milieu, to reveal the insidious ways that the received wisdom can shape how we interpret fossil findings, that what we expect to find colors our understanding of what we do find.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. This book is new, never read, no wear to covers, no markings on inner pages, spine intact no creases. "One of the most remarkable fossil finds in history occurred in Laetoli, Tanzania, in 1974, when anthropologist Andrew Hill (diving to the ground to avoid a lump…of elephant dung thrown by a colleague) came face to face with a set of ancient footprints captured in stone--the earliest recorded steps of our far-off human ancestors, some three million years old. Today we can see a recreation of the making of the Laetoli footprints at the American Museum of Natural History, in a stunning diorama which depicts two of our human forebears walking side by side through a snowy landscape of volcanic ash. But how do we know what these three-million-year-old relatives looked like? How have we reconstructed the eons-long journey from our first ancient steps to where we stand today? In short, how do we know what we think we know about human evolution? n The Fossil Trail, Ian Tattersall, the head of the Anthropology Department at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us on a sweeping tour of the study of human evolution, offering a colorful history of fossil discoveries and a revealing insider's look at how these finds have been interpreted--and misinterpreted--through time. All the major figures and discoveries are here. We meet Lamarck and Cuvier and Darwin (we learn that Darwin's theory of evolution, though a bombshell, was very congenial to a Victorian ethos of progress), right up to modern theorists such as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould. Tattersall describes Dubois's work in Java, the many discoveries in South Africa by pioneers such as Raymond Dart and Robert Broom, Louis and Mary Leakey's work at Olduvai Gorge, Don Johanson's famous discovery of "Lucy" (a 3.4 million-year-old female hominid, some 40% complete), and the more recent discovery of the "Turkana Boy," even more complete than "Lucy," and remarkably similar to modern human skeletons.

And perhaps most important, Tattersall looks at all these great researchers and discoveries within the context of their social and scientific milleu, to reveal the insidious ways that the received wisdom can shape how we interpret fossil findings, that what we expect to find colors our understanding of what we do find. Refreshingly opinionated and vividly narrated, The Fossil Trail is the only book available to general readers that offers a full history of our study of human evolution. A fascinating story with intriguing turns along the way, this well-illustrated volume is essential reading for anyone curious about our human origins." Good Reads "Ian Tattersall currently maintains an active research interest in species variety and higher-taxa relationships within both the hominid and lemuriform primate groups. He finds it curious that he is considered an extreme splitter in the hominid domain and an enthusiastic lumper in the lemur one, despite applying pretty consistent standards across the board. Over the last several years his research interests have been trending increasingly toward the question of how and when Homo sapiens became the extraordinary cognitive entity it is, and to developing a framework for understanding".

Hardback. Condición: Good. There are books that confidently announce they have all the answers, and then there are books like The Fossil Trail , whose subtitle? How We Know What We Think We Know about Human Evolution ?has the refreshing honesty to admit that science is often a gloriously untidy business. Not only are we trying t…o reconstruct several million years of human history from a scattering of ancient bones, but we?re also perpetually arguing about whether we?ve reconstructed the right history in the first place. Published by Oxford University Press in 1995, Ian Tattersall?s wonderfully engaging book takes readers behind the scenes of palaeoanthropology, where the popular image of solemn scientists brushing dust from fossils gives way to a far livelier reality. Here, every newly unearthed skull threatens to overturn decades of accepted wisdom, every fragment of jawbone becomes the subject of passionate academic debate, and entire careers can hinge on whether a lump of fossilised bone is really a hip, a shoulder blade, or simply an unusually awkward-looking rock. Tattersall, one of the world?s leading authorities on human evolution, is the perfect guide through this scientific detective story. Rather than simply presenting a neat family tree of human ancestors, he explores how that tree was assembled in the first place?and why it keeps being rearranged. Science, it turns out, is less like completing a jigsaw puzzle and more like discovering that someone has quietly replaced half the pieces while you were making a cup of tea. The title is splendidly evocative. The Fossil Trail conjures images of intrepid explorers crossing deserts in search of humanity?s origins, which is indeed part of the story. But it is also a trail of ideas, mistakes, rivalries and revisions. Every fossil discovery adds another clue, while simultaneously raising three entirely new questions. One begins to suspect that evolution itself had an excellent sense of humour, carefully ensuring that the most important evidence would remain buried until just after somebody published a definitive textbook. One of the book?s greatest pleasures is its insistence that uncertainty is not a weakness but the very engine of scientific progress. Far from pretending that every mystery has been solved, Tattersall demonstrates how hypotheses are tested, challenged and occasionally demolished by the next remarkable discovery. It is a reminder that knowledge is built patiently, often by people willing to spend weeks excavating a hillside in the hope of finding something smaller than a teacup and considerably older than civilisation. This copy is in good condition , showing the gentle signs of having been appreciated rather than neglected. It has clearly survived rather better than the fossils discussed within its pages, most of which endured several million years of geological inconvenience before finally making their literary debut. The binding remains sound, the pages are clean, and it is ready to continue its evolutionary journey onto another bookshelf. As always, Crappy Old Books delights in rescuing books that prove reality is considerably more fascinating than fiction. The Fossil Trail won?t settle every argument about human evolution?and Ian Tattersall would probably argue that no honest book ever could?but it will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the extraordinary chain of discoveries that allows us to peer back through deep time. It also offers one comforting thought: if future archaeologists ever judge our civilisation from the contents of a single rubbish tip, perhaps we should be a little more forgiving of what can be inferred from one rather battered fossil jawbone.
