The partial skeleton of Homo erectus found in Kenya by Alan Walker,
Richard Leakey, and others is truly one of the great discoveries in
paleoanthropology, after the world's best paleoanthropologists have
diligently searched for traces of Homo erectus in Africa and Asia
for a century. In this book, the authors present descriptions and
photographs of all parts of the skeleton and accompany these with a
thorough analysis. It consists of three parts. The first part
covers the geology, dating, paleoenvironments, and the taphonomy of
the site. The second part is a description of the specimen and a
review of other Homo erectus specimens from the Lake Turkana
region. The last part is composed of analytical papers on certain
aspects of the boy's biology as they apply to other Homo erectus
specimens. "What impresses me most about the volume is that apart
from the basic description of the fossil, which itself is of great
importance, the editors have sought out leading experts to tackle
problems relating to specific issues in the evolutionary biology of
Homo erectus. Many of these chapters would stand alone as major
contributions. Together, they make a remarkable volume that will
become a standard reference." (Robert A. Foley, Professor of
Biological Anthropology, University of Cambridge)
