HUMANS - CLAUDIO TUNIZ PATRIZIA TIBERI VIPRAIO ...

Based on the latest scientific discoveries  this unauthorized biography of the Humans recounts
the story of our distant ancestors during the past 6 million years  since the line of our
extended family separated from that leading to modern chimpanzees. The book explains how
different species evolved  both anatomically and cognitively  and describes the impacts of
climatic and environmental change on this process. It also explores the nature of relationships
within and between species  describes their everyday lives  and discusses how isolated
individuals became members of larger social groups. The concluding chapters highlight the
paramount importance of the emergence of symbolic thought and discuss its contribution to the
formation of institutions  societies  and economies. The multifaceted picture that emerges will
help the reader to make sense not only of what we were  but also of what we are  here and now.
The book is both entertaining and rigorous in integrating results from a wide selection of
disciplines. It will be particularly suitable for people with a curious and open mind  keen to
overcome long-standing prejudices on man's place in nature.
