Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Humans who are we? Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it.This book is:shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Robertswritten by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive sciencebuilt from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topicThis thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits and their ability to teach one another skills to create ever-more sophisticated technology.Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists.Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware?Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps where were going. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
