Böcker av Melanie G. Wiber

Based on intensive study of human origin illustrations, responses from students and colleagues and research into reconstructive illustration and feminist criticism of Western art, this ground-breaking book traces the subtle ways in which paleoanthropological conventions have influenced and have shifted in the creation of these illustrations.

The author provides a deeper understanding of popularized illustrations of human origins and encourages readers to gain a sensitivity to the ways in which Western culture constructs scientific findings that are compatible with its deeply held beliefs and values.
