Origin Africa A Natural History

From a leading expert on the natural history of Africa, an original and personal account of how the continent's ecosystems enabled human evolutionAfrica was the evolutionary cradle for Homo sapiens. But what was it about Africa's ecosystems that made human evolution possible? In Origin Africa, Jonathan Kingdon, a leading expert on the natural history of Africa, sets human evolution within its African context, examining the natural conditions that enabled the rise of humans and the flowering of the continent, from preexisting geological factors and the broad-scale evolution of plants and animals to the emergence of hominids and beyond. Richly illustrated, the book features a wealth of photographs, artwork, and diagrams. Few people have the breadth of knowledge required to tackle this story and no one can tell it as well as Kingdon.
