This account describes the discovery of the "Boxgrove Man" - the oldest human remains discovered in Europe. The book explains how these remains and the artefacts surrounding them are preserved in an unprecedented way, and because of this it can be discovered how our ancestors behaved. It presents a revolutionary view of the origins of mankind, as research on the remains of the "Boxgrove Man" shows that our ancestors were neither the opportunist scavengers or mindless killers they have previously been thought to be.
