Imagine a place so remote it has escaped evolution. Imagine prehistoric footprints leading back in time--imagine they were made yesterday. Stranded in the African savanna, paleoanthropologist Ken Lauder encounters the inconceivable--a protohuman boy from a breed thought to have been extinct for two million years. From this irresistible "what if" premise, Popescu blends fascinating scientific speculation with scientific fact to explore the mysteries of how we become "human."
