"The simplicity and understanding with which Hendrik Willem Van Loon reveals the growth of the human race appeal alike to inquisitive children and their elders. He transforms the intricate sciences of archeology, anthropology and paleontology into stories of captivating humor and convincing truth. Man's emergence from the dark and mysterious past through all the brute stages of evolution becomes, under the spell of his story-telling genius, a tale of wonder and enchantment. Illustrations by the author are as charming and wise as the text."
