This book helps people to acquire knowledge and understanding of human evolution. People have not only enolved, they are still evolving. Human evolution is not in the past, it is also an actuality and a concern for the future.
This old (1962/1964) volume was from a deceased family friend, so I decided to read it (skipping several portions that didn't interest me or were too detailed for my very casual interest) mostly for the pictures, but I also gleaned some useful information from it. It was interesting to see some of the older photos on this topic from so long ago (now some 60 years past), when a lot of this information was much newer, certainly as compared to now.
I'll donate it or pass it along somehow, as it certainly has been eclipsed by more modern and thoroughly updated books on this scientific subject. It was mostly of interest as a historical account on this topic from a bygone era.
