Bat Detectors
Jonathan Kingdon constructs a magisterial and evocative account of the origins of bipedalism, incorporating the latest findings from ecology, biogeography and paleontology. By analysing the consequences of bipedalism - agility, tool manipulation, fire use, complex signalling - he is able to interpret recent evidence suggesting that 20 species of humans and hominids have lived and become extinct.
'Jonathan Kingdon is a Living World Treasure. One of Africa's greatest zoological artists, he is also one of zoology's leading authorities on Africa's mammals. A world class zoologist, ecologist, and writer, he also thinks deeply about human prehistory and evolution. Bipedality is humanity's founding peculiarity. Lowly Origin is Kingdon's highly original take on how it came about, and he manages to broaden his canvas to accommodate all of human evolution. An artist with words and a poet with images, only Jonathan Kingdon could have written this book.' Richard Dawkins
