Reviews

From the reviews: Harrison has compiled a large number of generally impressive reports stemming from this renewed work at Laetoli into a handsome two-volume set. ! Volume 2 entails 22 chapters that present the variety of animals found with the hominins. ! Harrison is to be congratulated for having assembled an extraordinary team of research collaborators to investigate (or reinvestigate) it to its full extent. ! It will be an indispensible resource for students of African Neogene paleontology, geology, and (especially) paleoanthropology. (Frederick E. Grine, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 87, March, 2012)
