"This is a masterful book by a leading scholar that provides an authoritative and engaging introduction to the evolution of apes--including humans. "The R""eal Planet of the Apes" is punctuated with wonderful bits of paleontological history and anecdotes about Begun's own experiences in the field. No other book covers the topic in such a coherent and comprehensive way."--John G. Fleagle, author of "Primate Adaptation and Evolution"
"This book tackles what is perhaps the most timely question in paleoanthropology, and also one of the thorniest--our ape origins and what that tells us about ourselves. There is no more knowledgeable, careful, or thorough a scholar of ape evolution than David Begun. This is a story that needs to be told."--Carol V. Ward, University of Missouri
