Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Coming of Man: Pre-Man and Prehistoric Man
The task would have been serious enough had there been no new discoveries during the years since 1924. These have been so many and of such outstanding importance that an entire volume could be devoted to them alone. They have to do with various phases not only of man's physical but also of his cultural evolution. In some of these the author has had a humble part, both directly and indirectly, thinks to his position as Director of the American School of Prehistoric Research. It would be ungrateful of him, therefore, not to acknowledge in this place his debt to all those on this side of the Atlantic who have helped the School financially, and to his colleagues on the other Side, who have given him and his students assistance in various ways, especially in opening gates of opportunity leading to fresh fields of prehistoric endeavor. If the help of any one person is to be given special mention, it should be that of the author's wife, who has been constant in service in field and in office, at home and abroad.
