SynopsisHow did we develop from simple animals inhabiting small pockets of forest in Africa to the dominant species on Earth? Traveling back almost eight million years to our earliest primate relatives, Evolution: The Human Story charts the development of our species from tree-dwelling primates to modern humans. Investigating each of our ancestors in detail and in context, from the anatomy of their bones to the environment they lived in, Evolution: The Human Story profiles every human relative and ancestor discovered to date, and illustrates them in lifelike form. Amazingly realistic CGI and model reconstructions by the renowned Dutch paleoartists, the Kennis brothers, bring us face-to-face and eye-to-eye with some of our distant ancestors, portraying them as never before. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the latest theories to reveal new and surprising elements, shining a light on previously inaccessible and unimagined detail, Evolution: The Human Story takes on a depth and fascination that is hard to resist.

Easy to understand human evolution; excellent format, expanding content.
This is the best book on human evolution overall even though the 2011 version is somewhat dated and the dating back of some hominins has changed. We now know that some less evolved hominins co-existed with some more evolved hominins such as the more recently discovered less evolved homo naledi. Our knowledge of human evolution continues to increase at a recent relatively rapid pace. With the added knowledge of human evolution since 2011 to the present, this book would easily deserve 5 stars in its easy to understand format and content. I would still highly recommend buying this book in its 2018 publication.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

To the point.
It has a lot of compelling text on human evolution and pictures of reconstructed (and possible) ideas of what our ancestor primates probably looked like. I didn't expect a "coffee table" book. These are not my type of reading. I was expecting more text and excellent flow as I experienced in Dr. Roberts "The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being". Also a standard book size that can be carried with me.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
