Where did humankind come from, and what marks still betray our animal past? Charles Morris lays out the case for evolution, tracing vestiges in our own bodies and the long road from quadruped to biped. A brisk, confident popular argument from its era. Consider the ancestry written into your own frame.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
