Abstract
South African theologian J. Wentzel van Huyssteen is the James I. McCord Professor of Theology and Science at Princeton Theological Seminary and the author of many books. The book under review is the 2004 Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Edinburgh. Wentzel van Huyssteen believes that scientists and theologians are both talking about the uniqueness of humans, so he sets out to explore what he considers the uncharted waters of the interdisciplinary relationship between theological anthropology and paleoanthropology. He accepts current evidence from paleoanthropology at face value and seeks to understand it from a theological perspective.
