Evolution and Pre-History

We're not changing our stance on creation vs. evolution, and we're not going to go out of our way to offer many of these, but we've noticed that enough of the vintage books (many of them in series we want to list completely) deal with the secular account of origins that it's probably a good idea to categorize them.

If you want to show kids how the evolutionary theory and accounts of "early man" were introduced and taught 50+ years ago, this will provide a number of books that do so. If you want to avoid the topic, this list should give you titles to avoid!
