Humans are the dominant species on the planet. But how did we get here?Human Originstakes the reader on a fascinating 7-million-year journey from our earliest primordial ape-like roots through to the present day.
For almost a hundred years, scientists have been trying to decipher the secrets of humanity’s evolution. At first, they relied on rare pieces of ancient skulls and bone fragments. But every year, they make new discoveries, uncover new fossils and develop new techniques to tease apart the story of our evolution.
So far, from skeletons to teeth, humanity has found more than 6,000 hominin individuals. These individuals span several species, all of which tell thetale of human evolution: how our brains changed over time, what we ate, how we lived. Including the latest scientific findings, Human Originswill also look at some of the biggest questions that remain: What makes humans unique? Where did the Neanderthals go? And are humans still evolving?
