""Admissions. Admission. Aren't there two sides to the word? And two opposing sides...It's what we let in, but it's also what we let out." For years, 38-year-old Portia Nathan has avoided the past, hiding behind her busy (and sometimes punishing) career as a Princeton University admissions officer and her dependable domestic life. Her reluctance to confront the truth is suddenly overwhelmed by the resurfacing of a life-altering decision, and Portia is faced with an extraordinary test. Just as thousands of the nation's brightest students await her decision regarding their academic admission, so too must Portia decide whether to make her own ultimate admission. Admission is at once a fascinating look at the complex college admissions process and an emotional examination of what happens when the secrets of the past return and shake a woman's life to its core."

So opens Robert Ardrey's earthshaking 1961 classic African Genesis, his first professional foray into the scientific realm.In 1955 Ardrey travelled to Africa to examine the collection of the then-obscure paleontologist Raymond Dart. He saw, culled from a cave occupied by early humans, a collection of antelope jawbones perfect for sawing, and antelope forelegs perfect for clubbing. He saw the skull of a juvenile proto-human, apparently bashed in. A growing body of evidence suggested that man had evolved on the African continent from carnivorous, predatory stock, who had also, long before man, achieved the use of weapons.An acclaimed dramatist, Ardrey's… Read More

"""With revolutionary scientific theories, dramatic photographs, and his own exciting discoveries, world-famous paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson supports controversial hypotheses that challenge our most fundamental theories of human ancestry:
Our earliest ancestors left the trees to walk on two legs at least four million years ago as part of a unique sexual strategy. Our first large-brained ancestors survived as scavengers, competing with lions and hyenas for food, rather thatn being the noble hunters of popular imagination. Neandertals are a specialized, extinct side branch of the human family tree and were never part of our own species. Modern humans first evolved in Africa and later migrated around the world.""
