Popular Archaeology Magazine is proud to release its new Fall issue on September 1, 2014. This issue will feature developments and discoveries that are changing the way we look at our past.

Other stories include book reviews and a video featuring a joint discussion about human evolution by Richard Leakey and Donald Johanson, the most renowned scientists of the field.
