Summary: Great book, though not for the novice
Comment: If you're a student of paleontology, an avid amateur, or -- of course -- a professional, then this is a great book! It provides two very useful services. First, it captures the developments in paleontology (and evolution sciences in general) that have occured over the past ten or so year. Secondly, it focuses a bright light on developments in the southern hemisphere, where an awful lot of the action is now taking place. The book starts at the beginning (origins of life) and moves through various levels of development to human evolution in succint and easy-reading chapters (though the authors might have done a little more deciphering of the jawbreaking scientific terms they sprinkle about). There's an attempt at humor, but maybe Australian humor is differently evolved than American... it seems a little too chummy and not terribly funny. Perhaps the only serious problem with the book is inadequate illustrations. While there is usually one illustration per chapter, they are only moderately informative. Many more would be useful, as would be maps. As the authors are constantly refering to the breakup of the early southern hemisphere, a map or two would be very appreciated. All in all, a terrific book.
