Riassunto

This volume deals with the fascinating topic of the origin of humankind. Some of its important areas - from palaeontology to genetics - have yielded striking contributions. However, it also has aspects that transcend science, and probe deeply into domains that do not pertain to scientific culture proper - such as religion and philosophy. The volume brings together contributions from a group of palaeontologists and geneticists, who present an update of knowledge on the topic; the "Out of Africa" theory; the demise of the Neanderthal; and the Italian scene.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

This volume deals with one of the most fascinating topics in world science today. Some of its important areas - from paleontology to genetics have yielded the most striking contributions. However, it also has aspects that transcend science, and probe deeply into domains that do not pertain to scientific culture proper, e.g. religion and philosophy. The volume will bring together contributions from a very distinguished group of palaeontologists and geneticists: they present an update of knowledge on the topic, the "Out-of-Africa" theory; the demise of the Neanderthal, perhaps the most fascinating anthropological enigma; the Italian scene.
