The Adventure of Man is the reader's own story-a journey back through thousands of years of history to the beginnings of time, to the beginnings of ourselves. It is a mystery story, with puzzles still to be explored:
How long has man been on earth?
What were the first men like?
How did they live?
It is an exciting story, with questions still to be answered:
How did man discover tools?
What makes him the same in different lands?
What makes him different in different lands?'
The Adventure of Man is Arthur Gregor's guide, as scientist, writer and teacher, to the origins of all of us, beginning with "messages" left by ancient man even in the time of unwritten history.
