The First Human: The Race to Discover our Earliest Ancestors by Ann Gibbons.
I really like this book because aside from discussing fossils and DNA, it also takes a historical look at the development of paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline. You get to know who the big names in the study of human evolution are, and how our understanding of the subject has changed and developed over the past 60 years or so. The only downside of this book is that it doesn't touch very much on South Africa. However, to supplement that void just pick up Lee Berger's In the Footsteps of Eve.
