Naming Our Ancestors: An Anthology of Hominid Taxonomy

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Reading the original literature of the past is an important, if often neglected, part of scientific education. Original publications can provide the authenticity and liveliness often missing in some books. In the study of hominid taxonomic nomenclature, publications of any age are of more than historical interest because they have continuing relevance for determining and maintaining the correct names for taxa. This anthology makes available a set of key documents in the literature of human evolution relevant to the history of hominid taxonomy and the discovery and naming of extinct hominid species.
