"Alison Jolly believes that biologists have an important story to tell about being human - not the all-too-familiar tale of selfishness, competition, biology as destiny but rather one of cooperation and interdependence, from the first merging of molecules to the rise of a species inextricably linked by language, culture and group living. This is the story that unfolds in Lucy's Legacy, the saga of human evolution as told by a world-renowned primatologist who works among the female-dominant ringtailed lemurs of Madagascar."--BOOK JACKET.
