    I think that one of the best treatments of the human (hominid) fossil
    record is that by Ian Tattersall. The book is called "The Fossil Trail:
    How we know what we think we know about human evolution" (1995, Oxford
    University Press). This is a scientific and historical account by one of
    the significant players in physical anthropology. It has good clear
    descriptions of the fossil material ( and nice line drawings) along with
    the historical context of the discoveries.
