New Members Humanfossils Posted August 13, 2012 New Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Can you recommend me the best books on human ancestral fossils. A description on all found ancestral fossils. I know Wikipedia has this but I did not like the format. Ideally, a book with pictures, and with competing theories. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32fordboy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've got this one: The Complete World of Human Evolution by Chris Stringer and Peter Andrews. It's amazing. www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painshill Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Don't know if you have seen this site: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/ and its page on prominent Hominid fossils): http://www.talkorigi...s/specimen.html Although it's not in any way a book about fossils, I would also recommend the beautifully illustrated: "Human Origins - The Story of Our Species" by Yves Coppens (the discoverer of "Lucy"). I don't have the "Complete World of Human Evolution" that 32fordboy references above, but I have other books by Chris Stringer which are generally excellent... particularly his "homo Britannicus - The Incredible Story of Human Life in Britain".
