Stone tools in Australia date back 65,000 years--a time when, we once thought, the first Sapiens had barely left Africa.

Paleoanthropologist Silvana Condemi and science journalist Fran輟is Savatier consider what accelerated our evolution: Was it tools, our \"large\" brains, language, empathy, or something else entirely? And why are we the sole survivors among many early bipedal humans? Their conclusions reveal the various ways ancient humans live on today--from gossip as modern \"grooming\" to our gendered division of labor--and what the future might hold for our strange and unique species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSilvana Condemi, \u003c\/b\u003e a paleoanthropologist, is the research director of the National Center for Scientific Research, the largest public scientific research organization in France, at Aix-Marseille University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFran輟is Savatier \u003c\/b\u003eis a journalist for the magazine \u003ci\u003ePour la Science \u003c\/i\u003e(the French edition of \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e), where he focuses on the science of the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Their previous book is the award-winning \u003ci\u003eNeanderthal, My Brother.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 7.2 x 4.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765531017504,"sku":"9781615196043","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e7f614e5447164146ef0af3b8a73e9e5.webp?v=1780272877","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-pocket-history-of-human-evolution-how-we-became-sapiens-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
