When the renowned paleoanthropologist Bob Shafer disappears on the eve of his greatest discovery, foul play is suspected. Discovery of his ravaged skeleton a year later casts suspicion on his many academic rivals and enemies. This work of fiction, though written by someone familiar with prehistoric finds in Africa and North America, is full of wonderful descriptive prose, quirky characters and a plot full of intrigue and betrayal. Durant highlights some of the conflicts and perils associated with the search for our earliest ancestors.
