Dem bones, dem bones


The remains of hominins – or early humans – can tell many tales about how they lived and how they died.  The better preserved the remains, the more stories to be unveiled.  In this nonfiction book, the reader is taken from through the processes of discovery of four well known hominin remains, deductions based on evidence uncovered and debates about what was revealed.
