Koobi Fora Research Project: Volume 5: Plio-Pleistocene Archaeology


Add your own review!

Overview

This is the fifth volume in the important Koobi Fora series on human origins, covering archaeological finds from excavations at East Turkana in northern Kenya. Volume 5 concentrates on the evidence from the period between 1.9 and 0.7 million years ago and reconstructs the behaviour of early human ancestors. The book answers such questions as: How were the stone tools made and utilized? How large were the groups of hominids, and how mobile? Do animal bones really give us a true impression of what food they ate? The stone artefacts, bones, and features of the ancient landscape recorded in this book provide a solid basis for further work on human evolution.
