'One of the key feminist texts' Guardian The Descent of Woman is a pioneering work, the first to argue for the equal role of women in human evolution. On its first publication in 1972 it sparked an international debate and became a rallying-point for feminism, changing the terminology of anthropologists forever. Starting with her demolition of the Biblical myth that woman was an afterthought to the creation of man, Elaine Morgan rewrites human history and evolution.

When I saw a couple ernestly searching for it in a small used book store. Later the same people wound up in the campsite next to us. Both of them recommended it so I got it. I expected some sort of early womens lib polemic but it is not like that at all. I am a picky reader and nothing upsets me more than a lame ending. This one ends on just a super wonderful note. It left me feeling very very good.
