Abstract
DR. LEAKEY'S Munro Lectures for 1935-36, here expanded into book-form, present in summary a review of the evidence for the Stone Age in Africa. After a brief survey of the climatic and geographical conditions and the regional distribution of the distinctive fauna, recent and modern, the author gives an account of the cultural successions in East, South, North and West Africa, pointing out in dealing with the last-named that evidence at present is almost non-existent.
