The World Before Us: How Science is Revealing a New Story of Our Human Origins By Tom Higham 50,000 years ago, we were not the only species of human in the world. There were at least four others, including the Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis , Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham. In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us, told for the first time with its full cast of characters. Just like Easton Press, Gryphon Editions are bound in full leather. The books feature gilded edges to seal out moisture, marbled endpapers, a sewn-in silk bookmark, and archival quality paper that will last for generations. Containing profuse photographs, the book appears unread. The color variations on the gilt in the photo are a result of the lighting (and my poor photography skills). The books is pristine.

I have been a buyer on EBay for less than two years, but have been extremely fortunate in finding several sellers who listings are accurate, detailed, well photographed, who offer consistently high quality items, packaging items well for shipment, with quick turnaround time from order to delivery. Horatioandsally is one of these top flight sites- in addition to all the above, the sellers are very informative as to receipt of order and delivery time, and very pleasant to deal with.
