Newsweek: “‘You could put all the fossils on the top of a single desk,’ said Elwyn Simons of Duke University.”  The New York Times: “The known fossil remains of man’s ancestors would fit on a billiard table. That makes a poor platform from which to peer into the mists of the last few million years.”  Science Digest: “The remarkable fact is that all the physical evidence we have for human evolution can still be placed, with room to spare, inside a single coffin! .*.*. Modern apes, for instance, seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans—of upright, *****, toolmaking, big-brained beings—is, if we are to be honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter.”</p></blockquote><p></p>
