Publishers Description: In this encyclopedia Dr. Jelinek outlines many of the discoveries that have led to the unravelling of Man's origin and development. This exciting topic is treated here in four main sections. Firstly, the author places Man in the context of the Zoological classification including his relationships with monkeys and apes. [He] builds up a facinating picture og how Man has evolved from primitive ape-like creatures to more advanced forms such as Neanderthal-man. The following three sections sho how Man has learned to make use of fire, to make and use tools for hunting, to build dwellings more advanced than just holes in a cliff, and finally how he has expressed himself throughout prehistory in painting, sculpture, and jewellery.
