The editors and their contributors are to be congratulated on producing a volume that provides a wealth of knowledge not only about the longneglected postcranial remains from Sterkfontein, but also about other African fossils. This book stands to be heavily cited by future researchers, who will welcome the compilation of so much valuable information relating to early hominin postcranial morphology.
