Born eighteen months after the first Neanderthal skeleton was found and a year before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, Eugene Dubois vowed to discover a powerful truth in Darwin's deceptively simple ideas. There is a link, he declared, a link as yet unknown, between apes and Man. It takes a brilliant writer to elucidate a brilliant mind, and Pat Shipman shines as never before. The Man Who Found the Missing Link is an irresistible tale of adventure, scientific daring, and a strange and enduring love--and it is true. "Shipman, a paleontologist herself, is among the best writers who manage to describe science to popular audiences without sacrificing the complexities of the issues that energize and sometimes divide scientists." --John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review "Pat Shipman's latest book gives us two wonderful, beautifully designed books for the price of one. Here you will find the story of the most important human fossil ever discovered, blended with a larger-than-life drama revolving around an unforgettable man. If you haven't already discovered the joys of reading Pat Shipman, do so now." --Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel
