Man, Past and Present is an excellent study of anthropology by the distinguished British anthropologist August Henry Keane. In this book, he examines the history of human development, from the earliest times to the present day, examining both physical and cultural aspects. Keene reveals to the reader a unique portrait of a person, reflecting his evolution, changes in the way of life and interaction with the environment. Fascinating, insightful, and well-researched, this work is essential reading for both anthropologists and the general reader interested in human history and nature."
