Good Old Books: The Road to Man

The Road to Man
by Herbert Wendt
Pyramic Publications, 1959

The Road to Man is a fascinating and informative trip through the animal kingdom, conducted by the author of the widely hailed In Search of Adam.

This revealing history of evolution deals with the ocean and its
inhabitants; it goes on to reptiles, insects, birds, and flying mammals.

It explains migration and the spread of species; and finally traces the decisive step from instinctual life to the beginnings of intellect.

Familiar and fantastic animals are portrayed and described in a broadly
conceived narrative which gives a unified picture of the mutual dependence
of all living creatures.
