Biology, life sciences

BIC Classification: PDZ; PSAJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 161 x 19. Weight in Grams: 448.

Paperback. The idea of a missing link between humanity and our animal ancestors predates evolution and popular science. The author takes aim at this misleading notion, arguing that it reflects a profound misunderstanding of how evolution works and, when applied to the evolution of our own species, supports mistaken ideas about our own place in the universe. Num Pages: 217 pages, 6 halftones. BIC Classification: PSAJ; PSX. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 230 x 153 x 16. Weight in Grams: 306.
