This text provides an account of how early ape-men of the African savanna developed into fully human beings. Leakey is interested in far more than the mere physical features presented by fossils, and here he is particularly concerned with non-tangible human attributes, such as consciousness.
The study of human origins can never stand still, as newfossils are constantlt being discovered and theories of the "ancestral tree" are being rejigged to accomodate the newcomers.Leakey has always been interested infar more than the mere physical features presentes by fosils, and here he is particularly concerned with non-tangiable attributes such as art, language and conciousness itself.

Richard Leakey, the son of leading paleoanthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey, was Director of the National Museums of Kenya for twenty years and more recently has served his country in a more political role as Director of the Wildlife Service. He made the important discovery of the 'Turkana Boy', a virtually complete skeleton, and his popular books include Origins, The People of the Lake and The Making of Mankind. Sean Barrett narrated the BBC Modern History series, People's Century and appeared in television productions of Twelfth Night and Father Ted.
