The Ape in the Tree An Intellectual & Natural History of Proconsul

Pat Shipman, Alan Walker, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology Pat Shipman — 2005

Detailing the unfolding discovery of a crucial link in our evolution, this book is written in the voice of Walker, whose involvement with Proconsul began when his graduate supervisor analyzed the tree-climbing adaptations in the arm and hand of this extinct creature. Today, Proconsul is the best-known fossil ape in the world.
