Origins – The Story of the Emergence of Humans and Humanity in Africa edited by Geoffrey Blundell

Secondhand Paperback in Good Condition. Slight bend in bottom left corner

In 2006 a new museum, the Origins Centre, was opened in Johannesburg to celebrate human origins in Africa and its rich cultural heritage. This book is the official publication accompanying the opening of the museum and provides a non-specialist introduction to human evolution in Africa, from pre-humans to modern humans, to the creative explosion that took palce throughout the Middle and Late Stone Age, and the rediscovery of Africa’s past up until recent times. The short essays, though written by renowned scholars, are designed for a general readership.
