About This Item
New York, NY: Atheneum, 1961. Book. Illus. by Ardrey, Berdine. Near Fine. Hardcover. First American Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Atheneum, 1961. First American edition. 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering and lime green lines embossed on spine, gilt lettering on front board, olive green textured endpapers, illustrated throughout, text block upper edge stained pink, 380 pp. This book is at once the story of an unprecedented search and a story of man that has never before been told. It is shocking in that it challenges assumptions of human uniqueness that color every segment of modern thought and every aspect of our daily lives. Yet, it is a remarkably satisfying book, for it reveals the personality of man not as some fragile accident, mundane or divine, but as a dynamic expression of the history of all living things. Beautifully illustrated and includes a fold-out drawing of "The Last Five Hundred Million Years: The Emergence of Complex Life". Near fine..
