Remarkable collection of stories, gathered up by Stover and Harrison (dammit, Harry, I miss you). The collection ranges from "The Man of the Year Million" by H. G. Wells to "A Preliminary Investigation of an Early Man Site in the Delaware River Valley" by Charles W. Ward and Timothy J. O'Leary (yes, *that* Tim O'Leary), and includes many of the lights of Science Fiction as well.

This fragile book was the thing that prompted me to start packing away my vastly reduced collection. I'll probably start looking for a later copy, because this one will stay in its protective envelope for a very long time. ( )

Forget the two good pieces in this weird anthology havfe been reprinted several times. Forget that the science of anthropology and sci-fi are blended so the reader can sometimes not know what is fact and what is fiction. Beyond all this are the unnecessary essays heading each small collection, and the fact most of the stories are not well written. ( )
