"...Harry L. Shapiro...recounts the astonishing discovery of the fossils of Peking man in an abandoned quarry near Peking and the even more dramatic tale of their disappearance during World War II. The long search for these priceless fragments, which revolutionized the history of man's evolution, has led investigators from one end of the world to the other. Dr. Shapiro's book is at once an anthopological detective story and an illuminating account of the evolution of man." -- from the back cover.
