This book will be particularly suitable for teachers of evolution and creationist schools of thought about the human origins in Africa. Ondo helps to answer one question that is rarely addressed in evolutionary discourse: what do Africans say about human relationships with other primates? This is a book for your shelf—a fascinating, lucid, and readable introduction to the Fang of Gabon. -- Jeremiah Mutio Kitunda, Appalachian State Universirty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Professor Douglas A.
