What is The Hominid Gang : behind the scenes in the search for human origins about?

The author joins the Leakey family as they unearth evidence of our human ancestors in Africa's Great Rift Valley. For six years Delta Willis interviewed leaders in the field, including the brilliant geologist Frank Brown, who used volcanic strata "fingerprints" to accurately date fossil sites around Kenya's Lake Turkana. Equally heroic and unknown were the team of African fossil finders led by Kamoya Kimeu who leads the team and discovered The Turkana Boy. They were called The Hominid Gang. Harvard evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould joins Willis and Richard and Meave Leakey on one of the expeditions, and wrote the introduction to this book.
