byLydia Pyne

In Seven Skeletons, Lydia Pyne turns to the evolution of the world’s most famous human fossils and asks readers to reconsider the familiar story behind it. The research behind Seven Skeletons draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the evolution of the world’s most famous human fossils with debates in nature and science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Seven Skeletons gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
