"This is the story of the search for humanity's origins--from the Middle Ages, when questions of the Earth's antiquity first began to arise, through to the latest genetic discoveries that show the interrelatedness of all living creatures. Central to the story is the part played by fossils--first, in establishing the age of the Earth; then, following Darwin, in the pursuit of possible 'missing links' that would establish how humans descended from ape-like ancestors."
