The Quest for Man, edited by Vanne Goodall with a preface by Sir Julian Huxley, assembles some of the twentieth century's most distinguished scientists — Barbara Bender, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, David A. Hamburg, Jane van Lawick-Goodall, and John Napier — to confront one of biology's most profound and enduring questions. Drawing on disciplines ranging from evolutionary genetics and ethology to physical anthropology and primatology, this landmark anthology chronicles humanity's origins, behaviour, and place within the animal kingdom with rigorous scholarship and compelling clarity.\n\nEach contributor brings a distinct yet complementary perspective, weaving together a rich tapestry of evidence that illuminates the biological and cultural threads that make us uniquely human. The volume reflects the intellectual excitement of a golden era in evolutionary science, when fieldwork from the African savanna and laboratory discoveries were radically reshaping our understanding of our own species. Published by Phaidon, a house renowned for its commitment to serious, beautifully produced works, this collection remains an authoritative and thought-provoking examination of our origins — one that asks the reader to consider not just where we came from, but what we are still becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210229752027,"sku":"2026200012983-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/668fb861-d55c-4b6e-bb48-1d124a79b801.png?v=1788267612","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012983-secondhand-the-quest-for-man","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
