From the Introduction: "Anthropology is the science of man. It tells the story
from apeman to spaceman, attempting to describe in detail all the epochs of
his continuing history... this is an anthology of speculation, fictional and
non-fictional, and it owes equal credit to both science and art."
Note: The collection is divided into two parts: 'Man...' and '...and His
Works," relating to physical and cultural anthropology respectively. In a
47-page afterword, Stover examines 'some of the points of interest' and puts
each of the stories and articles into context within the field of anthropology.
