    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This volume comprises papers delivered at a five-day International Conference honoring the immense contributions of Richard E. Leakey to furthering our appreciation of the centrality of Africa to the narrative of human evolution. The discoveries by Richard in the Turkana Basin of northern Kenya have impacted our interpretation of the fossil evidence for human evolution, the geochronology of hominin phylogeny, and our appreciation of the palaeoecological diversity and changes that shaped our tree. The papers presented at the conference range from the interpretation of the fossil, archaeological and palaeoecological records to recent advances in geology, geochronology and genomic research in Africa.
