Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was going to be part of a human evolution project co-managed by the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research and the University of Tübingen. In the middle of all the upheaval that comes with taking on a new position, I got a phone call from Nikolai Spassov, the director of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria.
#2 Spassov had found the fossilized remains of a great ape in Bulgaria, which contradicted the accepted school of thought that said apes had died out in Europe long before. We went to dig up the tooth and confirm its date.
#3 I was assigned to reevaluate the lower jawbone and other fossils found in Pyrgos, and establish exact dates for the sites at Azmaka, Pyrgos, and Pikermi. I was hoping the fossils would lead me back to the beginnings of paleontology in the nineteenth century.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The story of the soldier who found the fossilized monkey jaw in Greece is a fascinating example of how fossils were discovered and collected. It was later named Mesopithecus pentelicus, and was a link between langurs and gibbons.

#2

The beginning of vertebrate paleontology as an independent branch of scientific study was marked by the find at Pikermi in Greece in 1833. Many early, groundbreaking books on the history of mammals were based not only on Darwin’s theory of evolution, which was published in 1859, but also on these fossil finds.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The German army geologists who were assigned to find suitable sites for military installations in Greece in 1943 discovered a property with a tower and an unusual past. The grounds were known as Pyrgos Vasilissis Amalias, Queen Amalie’s tower. Amalie Marie Friederike, duchess of Oldenburg, had married King Otto I of Greece in 1836, thus becoming the first queen of Greece.

#2

In 1944, workers began building the bunker. They found a fossilized lower jawbone of a primate, which was sent to Berlin for analysis. The fossils were identified as belonging to the Pikermi fauna type, and Dietrich identified eleven species, including two species of giraffe and five species of gazelle and antelope.

#3

Until 1969, the existence of the Graecopithecus was unknown. It was discovered in Pyrgos, and was renamed Graecopithecus freybergi in honor of its discoverer. But other scientists did not show much interest in it, and it was forgotten again.
