This book looks at the relationship between man and the environment and our betrayal of our duty to the environment. It shows how we have degraded and hurt and harmed that which we were to protect and care for. This book shows comprehensively the close relationship between man’s actions and the reaction of the environment to those actions. It also has some suggestions as to how we can at least try to undo the harm we have caused. It is about the rape of the earth – pollution, landfills, killing of the animals, fish, fowl, desecration of nature etc.

Of skulls, an astonishing hoax, the beginnings of the study of humankind, scientistic racism - and the Australian scientists in the thick of it... The 20th-century anatomists Grafton Elliot Smith, Frederic Wood Jones and Arthur Keith travelled the globe collecting and constructing morphologies of the biological world with the aim of linking humans to their deep past as well as their evolutionary niche. They dissected human bodies and scrutinised the living, explaining for the first time the intricacies of human biology. They placed the body in its environment and gave it a history, thus creating an ecological synthesis in striking contrast to the model of humanity that they inherited as students. Their version of human development and history profoundly influenced public opinion as they wrote prolifically for the press, published bestsellers on human origins and evolution, and spoke eloquently at public meetings and on the radio. By changing popular views of race and environment they moulded attitudes as to what it meant to be human in a post-Darwinian world - thus providing a potent critique of racism.
