"Rak's book goes far beyond a superficial analysis of the facial skeleton of Australopithecus. He not only documents important morphological differences between the early hominid taxa but also interprets them in a functional, biochemical, evolutionary framework" (from the book's foreword by T. D. White and F. C. Howell). No ownership marks and no signs of use.
