Next Kortlandt put a sheep in a wire-mesh cage surrounded by thorn branches. This time, several hungry lionesses began pulling at the branches. But when thorns became lodged in their paw pads, they retreated to lick their wounds. That suggested early man could have protected himself on the savanna by building thorn-branch shelters. But could he survive long sieges? To find out, Kortlandt attached branches to a remote-controlled motor on a framework over chunks of meat. When lions approached, the branches spun as they might had they been brandished by man. The lions darted away...

I dread to think what updating will be necessary for your cover a year from...
