The epic story of our evolution in seven big steps!How did we become who we are? With trademark wit, acclaimed science writer Pamela S.

Vetted by experts at the Smithsonian's Human Origins Program, the book also features incredibly detailed portraits by celebrated paleo-artist John Gurche that bring our early ancestors to life.
