9780241682746 - Humans: The Evolution of a Species di DK (20 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Take an evolutionary journey to discover what makes us distinctly humanHumans - who are we? Physically, we're unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable.How can our fingers open this book with such precision, prising apart pages just a fraction of a millimetre thick? How can we understand the symbols in it and read the thoughts someone has transferred to the page? With our union of 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. Uncovering exactly how we did this is not easy. Each fossil or flint tool discovery seems to rewrite the human story.This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Do women have hearts, lungs, and legs adapted to running down prey because they inherited their fathers' hunting DNA, or because in fact, they did their share of hunting themselves? Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside mind expanding diagrams of what we achieved with it.

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 Roberts- written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science- built 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.

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 we're going. 320 pp. Englisch.
