Большой иллюстрированный атлас первобытного человека

Description Edition 1972. The safety is good. How and when did man arise? What did it look like at certain stages of its development? When did the first traces of human activity appear and how did the cultural development of primitive society take place? These exciting questions are explored in this illustrated atlas by Dr. Jan Jelinek, an internationally respected scientist. Based on anthropological and archaeological findings from all over the world (some published for the first time), the author introduces readers to the biological and social evolution of man over millions of years, from ancient animal ancestors to the advent of modern humans. Over 900 black and white and color photographs richly illustrate this dramatic, long and complex evolutionary process. Original photographs by the author make the book even more attractive.
