  • "This book answers the question: What made humans human? Leakey argues that when one of our hominid ancestors acquired the ability to walk upright (called "bipedalism"), the evolution of modern humans became possible, perhaps even inevitable."
  • "R. Leakey nous restitue l'aventure de la paléontologie moderne et fait le point sur les connaissances les plus récentes concernant l'apparition de l'homme, ses caractéristiques physiques, ses lieux d'habitat. Il insiste sur le rôle de la bipédie, capacité révolutionnaire à l'origine de progrès considérables. Il montre comment les hommes ont développé organisation sociale, culture, langage, etc."

  • "The Origin of Humankind is Richard Leakey's final statement on human evolution. Deriving its power from the author's unquestioned authority in the field of paleontology, and enriched by his new interest in wildlife, this book answers the question: What made humans human? Leakey argues that when one of our hominid ancestors acquired the ability to walk upright (called "bipedalism"), the evolution of modern humans became possible, perhaps even inevitable. All other human evolutionary refinements and distinctions can be seen as related to this one dramatic step. In fascinating sections on how and why modern humans developed a social organization, culture, and personal behavior, Leakey enhances our understanding of the nature and evolutionary role of art, language, and human consciousness."@en
  • "Richard Leakey traces the history of evolution theories and draws on his scientific analysis of human fossils to explain human origins. He concludes that, in spite of what certain evolutionary events suggest, it is social behaviour, not mechanical devices, like tools, that drives the evolutionary force."@en
  • "L'auteur, célèbre anthropologue, fait le point des connaissances les plus récentes concernant l'apparition de l'homme, ses caractéristiques physiques, ses lieux d'habitat, son organisation sociale, sa culture, etc. [SDM]."
  • "Discusses the evolution of the human species, relates the distinctions that set humans apart from apes, and explains how and why we developed social and cultural organizations."@en
