Critics Review

“When it comes to human evolution [Chris Stringer] is as close to the horse’s mouth as it gets Lone Survivors should be the one-stop source on the subject. Read it now.” –Henry Gee, BBC Focus

“Combining the thrill of a novel with a remarkable depth of perspective, the book offers a panorama of recent developments in paleoanthropology … refreshingly politically incorrect.” –Jean-Jacques Hublin, Nature

“Readers seeking to advance beyond the usual flamboyant field researchers will enjoy this intense, detailed account of what the world’s anthropologists are doing, thinking, and quarrelling about.” –Kirkus Reviews
