A Pocket History of Human Evolution will bring us up to date on the exploits of Homo erectus and ergaster, the Neanderthals, Denisovans, and others. (Hint: There was a lot more crossbreeding than previously supposed.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese latest discoveries have only spurred more questions. Lauded paleoanthropologist Silvana Condemi and science journalist Francois Savatier consider: What accelerated Homo sapiens evolution - and left us the sole surviving species among many ancient bipedal \"humans\"? Was it tools, our \"large\" brain, language, or empathy? Their conclusions are likely to startle (and inspire a new appreciation for the human foot).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondemi and Savatier also look to the future of our strange species - migratory, social animals with a rapidly expanding population, who have transformed our world forever. By taking stock of our ancestors, we can better understand ourselves.","brand":"Condemi, Silvana \u0026 Savatier, Fran Ois","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44655804023074,"sku":"9781615196043","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/condemi-silvana-savatier-fran-ois-a-pocket-history-of-human-evolution-9781615196043-40837042700578.jpg?v=1678657305","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/a-pocket-history-of-human-evolution","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
