This book will make you think about what could still be found in some of the last remaining unexplored regions of the earth.

I'm a big anthropology fan and loved this book. A lost link between Greater Apes and man is found in Africa by a couple of research scientist. The adventure starts from there.

In an unexplored Kenyan savanna, a paleoanthropologist finds a boy whose physical characteristics match those of the "missing link" and realizes that he's discovered a place that has escaped the normal evolutionary processes. Soon the modern world threatens to encroach on his bond with the boy as a poacher tracks them down and another anthropologist threatens to steal the discovery. Their only hope is to disappear into the forest with the boy's tribe.

This was a very good book but very technical. A good read even though it took me awhile to get through.
