Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Ian Tattersall, primate and evolution expert, searches for the discontinuities in our evolution in a bid to discover what it is that sets us apart from our ancestors. Human creativity is a trait that has developed relatively recently in our long ancestry: Tattersall tries to get to the bottom of this fundamental change firstly by looking at the cognitive gulf between us and our closest living relatives, the great apes, and secondly, by analyzing the fossil and archaeological material left by our ancestors, from the earliest hominids to early species of homo . Written for the general reader with little specialist knowledge of the subject, this is a good general introduction to this puzzling and problematic issue.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Fifty thousand years ago - merely a blip in evolutionary time - our Homo sapiens ancestors were competing for existence with several other human species, just as their precursors had done for millions of years. Yet something about our species distinguished it from the pack, and ultimately led to its survival while the rest became extinct. Just what was it that allowed Homo sapiens to become masters of the planet? Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us deep into the fossil record to uncover what made humans so special. Surveying a vast field from initial bipedality to language and intelligence, Tattersall argues that Homo sapiens acquired a winning combination of traits that was not the result of long-term evolutionary refinement. Instead, the final result emerged quickly, shocking our world and changing it forever.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Nothing fascinates us more than explorations of human origins, and nobody tells the story better than Ian Tattersall. What makes us so different? How did we get this way? How do we know? And what exactly are we? These questions are what make human evolution a subject of general fascination. Ian Tattersall, one of those rare scientists who is also a graceful writer, addresses them in this delightful book. Writing in an informal essay style, Tattersall leads the reader around the world and into the far reaches of the past, showing what the science of human evolution is up against-from the sparsity of evidence to the pressures of religious fundamentalism. Looking with dispassion and humor at our origins, Tattersall offers a wholly new definition of what it is to be human. Delightful stories, scientific wisdom, fresh insight-the perfect science book.…
