Book La vita spiegata da un Sapiens a un Neanderthal

Download or read book La vita spiegata da un Sapiens a un Neanderthal written by Juan José Millas and published by Rizzoli. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paleolitico, Mesolitico, Neolitico: periodi così lontani nel tempo che molti di noi fanno fatica a dar loro la giusta collocazione. Immaginare come fosse allora la vita è quasi impossibile. Possiamo dire, però, che i nostri antenati preistorici ci sono del tutto estranei? Lo scrittore Juan José Millás è convinto del contrario. Ecco perché ha chiesto a Juan Luis Arsuaga, paleontologo tra i più brillanti della sua generazione, di accompagnarlo alla scoperta delle nostre radici. Capire come si è sviluppata la nostra specie, spiegarne le origini e comprenderne l'evoluzione: è da questi obiettivi che nasce l'incontro tra due menti curiose e acutissime. Conoscenza scientifica, abilità divulgativa, grande inventiva letteraria e una buona dose di ironia si mescolano così in un volume unico, frutto di mesi di dialogo attraverso luoghi della nostra quotidianità e siti straordinari in cui sono ancora visibili le tracce della preistoria dell'uomo. Millás, che fin da piccolo si è autodefinito un Neanderthal («Lo so dai tempi della scuola, perché i bambini Sapiens - dei veri stronzi - mi guardavano strano»), unisce la propria abilità affabulatrice alla competenza del compagno accademico, che ha tutta la sapienza dell'altra specie del genere Homo, per guidarci tra biomeccanica e dimorfismo sessuale; tra postura bipede e dentatura; tra l'australopiteco Lucy e la barba rasata di Alessandro Magno; tra svolte fondamentali come lo sviluppo della mira per scagliare una pietra e la suddivisione del lavoro in cacciatori e raccoglitori. Come un Don Chisciotte con il suo Sancho Panza, i due ci conducono in una divertente e illuminante spedizione verso i misteri dell'evoluzione umana, nel solco della miglior divulgazione scientifica.

Book Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal

Download or read book Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal written by Juan José Millás and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Scientist Book of the Year Prehistory is all around us. We just need to know where to look. Juan José Millás has always felt like he doesn’t quite fit into human society. Sometimes he wonders if he is even a Homo sapiens at all, or something simpler. Perhaps he is a Neanderthal who somehow survived? So he turns to Juan Luis Arsuaga, one of the world’s leading palaeontologists and a super-smart sapiens, to explain why we are the way we are and where we come from. Over the course of many months, the two visit different places, many of them common scenes of our daily lives, and others unique archaeological sites. Arsuaga tries to teach the Neanderthal how to think like a sapiens and, above all, that prehistory is not a thing of the past: that traces of humanity through the millennia can be found anywhere, from a cave or a landscape to a children’s playground or a toy shop. Millás and Arsuaga invite you on a journey of wonder that unites scientific discovery with the greatest human invention of all: the art of storytelling.

Book Death As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal

Download or read book Death As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal written by Juan José Millás and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling follow-up to Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal. ‘We would love to discover that each species has a biological clock in its cells, because, if that clock existed and if we were able to find it, perhaps we could stop it and thus become eternal,’ Arsuaga tells Millás in this book, in which science is intertwined with literature. The paleontologist reveals essential aspects of our existence to the writer, and debates the advisability of transmitting his random vision of life to a dieting Millás, who discovers that old age is a country in which he still feels like a foreigner. After the extraordinary international reception of Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal, the most brilliant double act in Spanish literature once again dazzle the reader by addressing topics such as death and eternity, longevity, disease, ageing, natural selection, programmed death, and survival. Here you will find humour, biology, nature, life, a lot of life … and two fascinating characters, the Sapiens and the Neanderthal, who surprise us on every page with their sharp reflections on how evolution has treated us as a species. And also as individuals.

Book Sapiens  La nascita dell umanit

Download or read book Sapiens La nascita dell umanit written by Yuval Noah Harari and published by Bompiani. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IL PRIMO VOLUME DELLA VERSIONE ILLUSTRATA DEL BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE SULLA STORIA DELL’UOMO. In un mondo alluvionato da informazioni irrilevanti la lucidità è potere. Ma come si fa a cogliere il quadro generale senza perdersi in un’infinità di rivoli e dettagli? Facciamo un passo indietro e guardiamo davvero al quadro generale: la storia della specie umana. Sapiens. La nascita dell’umanità è la storia di come una scimmia insignificante divenne la signora della Terra, capace di scindere il nucleo di un atomo, volare sulla Luna e manipolare il codice genetico della vita. Una squadra di ricercatori – Prehistorik Bill, Dr. Fiction, la detective Lopez – capitanati da Yuval Noah Harari in persona guida il lettore a esplorare il lato selvaggio della storia. L’evoluzione umana viene reinventata come un reality show televisivo; il primo incontro tra Sapiens e Neanderthal è raffigurato attraverso i capolavori dell’arte moderna; l’estinzione dei mammut e delle tigri dai denti a sciabola è raccontata come un giallo. L’adattamento di Sapiens. Da animali a dèi in forma di graphic novel è una rivisitazione radicale e profondamente divertente della storia dell’umanità a partire dal longseller internazionale che ha venduto 16 milioni di copie in 60 lingue. Il tono umoristico è pensato per catturare l’interesse di chi finora ha preferito tenersi alla larga da scienza e storia. Ecco l’occasione giusta per cambiare idea.

Book L Uomo di Neanderthal

Download or read book L Uomo di Neanderthal written by Passerino Editore and published by Passerino Editore. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Homo neanderthalensis comunemente detto Uomo di Neanderthal, è un ominide strettamente affine all'Homo sapiens che visse nel periodo paleolitico medio, compreso tra i 200 000 e i 40 000 anni fa. Prende il nome dalla valle di Neander (Neandertal) presso Düsseldorf in Germania, dove vennero ritrovati i primi resti fossili. Fu un "Homo" molto evoluto, in possesso di tecnologie litiche elevate e dal comportamento sociale piuttosto avanzato, al pari dei sapiens di diversi periodi paleolitici. Convissuto nell'ultimo periodo della sua esistenza con lo stesso Homo sapiens, l'Homo neanderthalensis scomparve in un tempo relativamente breve, evento che costituisce un enigma scientifico oggi attivamente studiato. I mini-ebook di Passerino Editore sono guide agili, essenziali e complete, per orientarsi nella storia del mondo.

  • ISBN : 1134095163
  • Pages : 124 pages

Download or read book The Neanderthals written by Stephanie Muller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neanderthal is among the most mysterious relatives of Homo sapiens: Was he a dull, club-swinging muscleman, or a being with developed social behaviour and the ability to speak, to plan precisely, and even to develop views on the afterlife? For many, the Neanderthals are an example of primitive humans, but new discoveries suggest that this image needs to be revised. Half a million years ago in Ice Age Europe, there emerged people who managed to cope well with the difficult climate – Neanderthal Man. They formed an organized society, hunted Mammoths, and could make fire. They were able to pass on knowledge; they cared for the old and the handicapped, burying their dead, and placing gifts on their graves. Yet, they became extinct, despite their cultural abilities. This richly illustrated book, written for general audiences, provides a competent look at the history, living conditions, and culture of the Neanderthal.

Book Le impronte del signor Neanderthal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA NUOVA EDIZIONE AGGIORNATA DI UN LIBRO BEST SELLER Com’è cominciata la vita? Come si è evoluta per arrivare fino a noi? Come e perché è stata ricreata in laboratorio? La si può rendere immortale? Sono domande che non possiamo non farci. E a cui la scienza continua a dare risposte nuove e sorprendenti. Nel giro di pochi anni è cambiato tutto; oggi non solo il Dna si può estrarre e sequenziare con risultati assai affidabili ma questi studi aprono prospettive inimmaginabili. Cominciamo a capire chi erano davvero i nostri antenati e che rapporto c’era fra loro e i nostri cugini più prossimi, come si sono spostati da una parte all’altra della Terra, e come si sono incrociati. E come quelle migrazioni – così simili a quelle di oggi – ci abbiano consentito di prendere dai Neanderthal il buono (i geni capaci di difenderci da certi batteri e virus) e qualche volta il meno buono (la predisposizione a certe malattie). Sono solo alcune delle maggiori rivelazioni che negli ultimi anni stanno rivoluzionando la conoscenza dell’uomo, della sua storia e del mondo che ha popolato: dalla nascita della vita sulla Terra al sogno (impossibile) dell’immortalità. Tra geni e cellule, Covid e vaccini, creatività e studi sul cervello, uno dei maggiori rappresentanti della ricerca in Italia guida il lettore attraverso i più recenti e affascinanti sviluppi della scienza moderna spiegando come solo un rinascimento della ricerca possa contribuire a disegnare un futuro migliore per la nostra specie e il pianeta in cui viviamo.

Book The Neanderthal s Necklace

Download or read book The Neanderthal s Necklace written by Juan Luis Arsuaga and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neanderthals are at the center of this compelling narrative by Europe's leading anthropologist, not because they were our ancestors but because they were not. Members of a parallel humanity that evolved in Europe for hundreds of thousands of years, they were in direct competition with Cro-Magnons -- modern humans. The way Neanderthals lived and the reasons why they disappeared 50,000 years ago offer a surprising mirror in which we can examine and learn more about ourselves. Illustrated, concise and readable, this is a fascinating exploration of human origins. "Lively, personal, refreshing, and instructive, this book should be read by anyone interested in their own origins and our extinct relatives." -- Ian Tattersall, author of The Fossil Trail, The Last Neanderthal, and Becoming Human

Book excerpt: Come si è arrivati all'estinzione dell'Uomo di Neanderthal? Siamo nel corso dell'ultima era glaciale: le valli abruzzesi sono abitate da numerose tribù di Homo Sapiens, mentre i rilievi e gli altopiani, in gran parte coperti dai ghiacciai, sono occupati da pochi uomini di Neanderthal, gruppo di ominidi ormai in via di estinzione. La ferocia e l'avidità distruttiva dell'Homo Sapiens decreteranno lo sterminio e l'estinzione dell'uomo di Neanderthal dal carattere gentile e rispettoso dell'ambiente. Un romanzo di straordinario impatto e realismo che consente di vivere le emozioni degli individui di queste popolazioni attraverso una descrizione dettagliata del loro quotidiano: usi e costumi delle due specie, le lotte per la sopravvivenza, le battute di caccia, l'utilizzo di erbe medicinali e tanti altri aspetti utilissimi per comprendere al meglio la vita dei nostri lontani antenati. Cosa aspetti? Acquista il libro e rivivi le emozioni del passato!
