Libro precioso, fácil de leer, bien documentado. En este libro se puede aprender la evolución desde los simios al hombre moderno. Los cuadros y mapas permiten hacer un seguimiento fácil de esta evolución para personas no especializadas en esta materia y su lectura es atractiva más allá de los nombres con los cuales se van identificados a cada uno de los fósiles que se van descubriendo.
