The Fossil Trail by Ian Tattersall
The Fossil Trail is a history of paleoanthropological thought and discovery. Ian Tattersall's account of the study of human evolution offers a colorful history of fossil discoveries and a revealing insider's look at how these finds have been interpreted - and misinterpreted - through time. The second edition of The Fossil Trail brings the text up-to-date with a look at what has happened in paleoanthropology in the thirteen years since the publication of the first edition. Through it all, Tattersall discusses the great researchers and discoveries within the context of their social and scientific milieu to reveal the many forces that shape how we interpret fossil findings, and to give a picture of what lies ahead for the field.Ian Tattersall is a curator at the American Museum of Natural History's Anthropology Department and an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and the CUNY Graduate School.
