| Summary/Abstract |
This story has been pieced together from a myriad of fossil finds, prehistoric cave paintings, discarded stone tools, and traces of ancient genetic material. In this account, Robin McKie, Science Editor of The Observer, unravels the saga of how these discoveries form a picture of our ancestors' lives. It is a scientific detective story full of paleontologist-detectives whose intellect and foibles add to the adventure. The story arrives at a revelation of how our world became dominated by a single primate species: Homo sapiens.

Unstoppable us
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Even though we’ll never outrun a hungry lion or outswim an angry shark, humans are pretty impressive—and we’re the most dominant species on the planet. So how exactly did we become "unstoppable"? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story. From learning to make fire and using the stars as guides to cooking meals in microwaves and landing on the moon, prepare to uncover the secrets and superpowers of how we evolved from our first appearances millions of years ago. Acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari has expertly crafted an extraordinary story of how humans learned to not only survive but also thrive on Earth, complete with maps, a timeline, and full-color illustrations that bring his dynamic, unputdownable writing to life.

Clive Gamble is Professor or Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London and a Member of the Centre for Quaternary Research. Clive is an archaeologist with a particular interest in our earlist origins and the evolution of human society. He has undertaken research in many parts of the world to answer the question; when and why did we become the only human species to achieve a global distribution? The answer combines quaternary science, and its insights into changing climates and resources, with an understanding from archaecological evidence of how our social lives developed over the past two million years.
