A while ago, Pearl asked about evolution. Actually she asked who the mother of the first, first, first, first person was, and we had a discussion about evolution.

I had a look in the library and the coverage of evolution in junior non fiction is odd. There's tons about dinosaurs but little on human evolution. Or any other kind of evolution. It's like writing a book about the history of sport in which 90% of the pages are about ping pong.

One of the librarians suggested that the range of books was limited because of (some) American attitudes to evolution. Possibly the American market is big enough to distort the global market? I'm not sure if this is the case or not.

Anyway, I could not find a book for kids on this topic, so here is my first draft. It's based on the few adult non-fiction works on human evolution that my library system held and the illustrations are temporary. Very temporary.

I've already figured that it needs to be simplified further, but I would appreciate any technical corrections or literary comments, etc, on my attempt at a picture book on human evolution for the 3-6 market.
