'Fascinating and entertaining. If you read one book on human origins  this should be it' Ian
Morris  author of Why the West Rules - For Now 50 000 years ago  we were not the only species
of human in the world. There were at least four others  including the Neanderthals  Homo
floresiensis  Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's
ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham. In The World Before Us  he explains
the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA  for
example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made  enabling us to be more accurate in
our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived  but how they lived 
interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us  told for the first time
with its full cast of characters. 'Exciting' David Abulafia  author of The Boundless Sea

fun' Paul Collier  author of The Bottom Billion 'Essential' Barry Cunliffe  author of The
Scythians 'Profoundly entertaining' Brian Fagan  author of World Prehistory
