The Descent of Woman is a pioneering work, the first to argue for
the equal role of women in human evolution. On its first
publication in 1972 it sparked an international debate and became a
rallying-point for feminism, changing the terminology of
anthropologists forever. Starting with her demolition of the
Biblical myth that woman was an afterthought to the creation of
man, Elaine Morgan rewrites human history and evolution. This
lively, informative book sets out to solve the riddle of our
origins; its answer is controversial. Elaine Morgan has made The
Aquatic Ape Hypothesis a plausible alternative to conventional
theories of evolution and The Descent of Woman first set out an
understanding of who humans are and where they came from. Elaine
Morgan was best known as a writer for television until the
publication of The Descent of Woman in 1972, which became an
international bestseller. She then spent ten years researching
human evolution before publishing The Aquatic Ape (published by
Souvenir Press as a revised edition, The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis) in
1982. In the years since, The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis has gone on to
win widespread support among scientists. It is a measure of Elaine
Morgan's enduring importance, provocative thought and international
reputation that in January 2006, the first Chinese translation of
The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis became a Number 1 bestseller in Taiwan.
