Skull in the Rock: How a Scientist, a Boy, and Google Earth Opened a New Window on Human Origins by Marc Aronson Hardcover 64 pages (2012) From the fossil hunter who discovered the Homo naledi fossils in September 2015, this book is an amazing account of Lee Berger’s 2008 hunt -- with the help of his curious 9-year-old son -- for a previously unknown species of ape-like creatures that may have been direct ancestors of modern humans. The discovery of two remarkably well preserved, two-million-year-old fossils of an adult female and young male, known as Australopiitecus sediba, has been hailed as one of the most important archaeological discoveries in history. The fossils reveal what may be one of humankind's oldest ancestors.Mummies, Bones & Body Parts by Charlotte Wilcox Paperback 64 pages (2001)Intriguing science, dramatically presented.This carefully researched, compassionate photo-essay addresses the discovery of human remains and the efforts made by scientists to date, identify, and discover their places in history. From desiccated mummies staring with empty eyes into eternity to dry bones and isolated body parts, forensic scientists, physical anthropologists, and paleontologists strain to decipher ancient messages whispering through time. Wilcox discusses the discoveries of a variety of remains (mostly ancient), the methods of their preservation, and the scientific techniques used in investigating them. The readable text also covers the attitudes of societies toward death and the reverence (or lack of it) by modern disinterrers toward their finds. The complementary photos, mostly in color, have a high "ick!" factor that may disturb some readers. Mysteries of the Mummy Kids Paperback 67 pages illustrated (2009)With great enthusiasm Halls presents a gallery of mummified children. They range from one mummy discovered near Chile's Camarones Valley--at roughly 7000 years old, the most ancient human mummy known--to an unidentified Washington, D.C., teenager found in an elaborate Civil War-era casket in 2005. Along with a generous selection of rousing, eerie color photos, the author offers sensitive speculations about these once-living children's lives and deaths, interviews with scientists and mummy hunters, and telling details, such as the fact that King Tut's body was literally ripped apart to extract the valuables secreted in its wrappings. Closing with a visit to a modern embalmer and exemplary multimedia resource lists, this will keep readers rapt (so to speak) from cover to cover. I do NOT use "Stock Photos".
