Description
Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time.
This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution.
Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens.
By separating the history of palaeoanthropology from current interpretation of the human fossil record, it lays numerous misconceptions to rest, and demonstrates that human evolution has been far from the linear struggle from primitiveness to perfection that we've been led to believe.
It also presents a coherent scenario for how Homo sapiens contrived to cross a formidable cognitive barrier to become an extraordinary and unprecedented thinking creature.
Elegantly illustrated, Understanding Human Evolution is for anyone interested in the complex and tangled story of how we came to be.
