Book excerpt: In this dynamic account, award-winning science writer Ann Gibbons chronicles an extraordinary quest to answer the most primal of questions: When and where was the dawn of humankind?Following four intensely competitive international teams of scientists in a heated race to find the “missing link”–the fossil of the earliest human ancestor–Gibbons ventures to Africa, where she encounters a fascinating array of fossil hunters: Tim White, the irreverent Californian who discovered the partial skeleton of a primate that lived 4.4 million years ago in Ethiopia; French paleontologist Michel Brunet, who uncovers a skull in Chad that could date the beginnings of humankind to seven million years ago; and two other groups–one led by zoologist Meave Leakey, the other by British geologist Martin Pickford and his French paleontologist partner, Brigitte Senut–who enter the race with landmark discoveries of their own. Through scrupulous research and vivid first-person reporting, The First Human reveals the perils and the promises of fossil hunting on a grand competitive scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The book explores many points of view, including, religion, science, extraterrestrial theories, and ancient myth to seek answers for the numerous visible mysteries which motivates the interest of scientist and historians yet today. Through a combination of evidence, facts, and observations, Our Missing Ancestors is able to identify a global origin and a possible civilization which many refer to as the "High-Civilization."

Book excerpt: For more than a century, scientists have raced to unravel the human family tree and have grappled with its complications. Now, with an astonishing new discovery, everything we thought we knew about primate origins could change. Lying inside a high-security vault, deep within the heart of one of the world's leading natural history museums, is the scientific find of a lifetime - a perfectly fossilized early primate, older than the previously most famous primate fossil, Lucy, by forty-four million years. A secret until now, the fossil - "Ida" to theresearchers who have painstakingly verified her provenance - is the most complete primate fossil ever found. Forty-seven million years old, Ida rewrites what we've assumed about the earliest primate origins. Her completeness is unparalleled - so much of what we understand about evolution comes from partial fossils and even single bones, but Ida's fossilization offers much more than that, from a haunting "skin shadow" to her stomach contents. And, remarkably, knowledge of her discovery and existence almost never saw the light of day. With exclusive access to the first scientiststo study her, the award-winning science writer Colin Tudge tells the history of Ida and her place in the world. A magnificent, cutting-edge scientific detective story followed her discovery, and The Link offers a wide-ranging investigation into Ida and our earliest origins. At the same time, it opens a stunningly evocative window into our past and changes what we know about primate evolution and, ultimately, our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Our Ancestors: One Hundred and Fifty Years of History in the Watkins Family Bible, written with a quill pen by some ancestor who long ago passed on from sight. What memories come to me, their granddaughter, on this one hundredth anniversary ofthe birth of their son and our father, Benjamin Watkins! I am happy, in beginning this history of our family, to pay a tribute to so worthy an ancestor, and I feel as I write that we have just cause to be proud of the root from which this present family sprang. James Watkins was born in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, in the reign of our then Sovereign Lord, King George III, on Saturday, July 30, 1768. His father, Joseph Watkins, was of English descent, and his name would mark him as of Welsh origin. It seems little that we know of him, and yet we do possess some authentic information concerning this ancestor. He was a mechanic of Elizabethtown before the Revolution, and once owned a sailboat plying between a port in New Jersey and New York City. He lost all his property in the collapse of Revolutionary currency. He married Elizabeth Spinning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hall Ancestry written by Charles S. Hall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hall Ancestry: A Series of Sketches of the Lineal Ancestors, of the Children of Samuel Holden Parsons Hall, and His Wife Emeline Bulkeley of Binghamton, N. Y., With Some Account of Nearly One Hundred of the Early Puritan Families of New England, Also Tables Showing The Impracticable to verify every fact, and in some cases the errors of others may have been repeated here. Considerable new material has also been gotten together. Many facts and incidents have been te corded solely on account of their interest to the family, for which no apology should be needed as the book is intended principally for the family's use and information. The pedigrees of two progenitors in the female lines, one representing the paternal and the other the maternal side, have been success fully traced to a very early date, and tables have been prepared showing their descent through many illustrious houses in England and on the Continent. Tables are also given showing the descent from each ancestor mentioned in the Sketches. The plan of this book is the reverse of that usually adopted in genealogical works, in that, instead of tracing all the descendants of a given ancestor, it traces all the ancestors of a given descendant. This pre sents the subject from a different point of view, and makes more apparent the infinite number of lines which concentrate in each person, and the endless variety of bloods which each has in his veins, and corrects in a measure the current conceit that any man is descended from a single line.
