Hominid Evolution

For that research paper I had been prattling on about before I decided to zoom out my topic of interest from just HERV's to Hominid Evolution as a whole topic. Again, I'm curious what, if any books, on the subject would be best as a starting point? I'm willing to write about any fields of study or types of evidence going from the anthropological to the biological to the paleontological.

Where Do We Come From?: The Molecular Evidence for Human Descent by Jan Klein, Naoyuki Takahata

The Earliest Englishman by Sir Alfred Smith Woodward

I am firmly convinced that no theory of human evolution can be regarded as satisfactory unless the revelations of Piltdown are taken into account. ~ Sir Arthur Keith

I'm firmly convinced that bevets is a creationist bot. I have never once seen him/her/it post anything other than quotes from other people.
