Oxbow says: 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.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Africa occupies a very special position in the origin and development of humankind. It is on this continent, as exciting new discoveries of fossil material have revealed, that our pre-human ancestors evolved and first acquired the key characteristics that give us our humanity. The evidence of this immense surge of human creativity is incontrovertible: the tools uncovered, the art painted and engraved on rocks, the representations of symbolic thought. This book celebrates humanity's origins in Africa and the rich archaeological heritage of the continent. It has been written by some of the world's foremost authorities on Africa's past under the editorship of Geoffrey Blundell, the Origin Centre's Curator. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR010066083
