Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’arrivo dell’Homo sapiens in Europa, i processi che ne hanno favorito il successo adattivo e le cause che hanno portato all’estinzione dei neandertaliani sono avvenimenti fondamentali per la storia dell’evoluzione umana, ma siamo lontani dalla ricostruzione di una cronologia chiara di questo periodo cruciale. Il radiocarbonio, il metodo di datazione più utilizzato in archeologia, non permette sempre di ottenere datazioni abbastanza precise e accurate per comprendere a pieno alcuni passaggi rilevanti. La sfida dell’autrice e del suo team di ricerca è quella di migliorare le potenzialità della datazione al radiocarbonio per aumentarne le capacità di risoluzione temporale. Il suo utilizzo per lo studio dei siti archeologici europei potrebbe rivoluzionare gli scenari ipotizzati fino a oggi, permettendoci di rispondere alle tante domande che ancora restano aperte sulla storia di questo periodo fondamentale per l’evoluzione umana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Homo Genesis" è un'esplorazione approfondita della storia dell'umanità, dall'emergere dei primi esseri umani fino alla complessità della civiltà moderna. Attraverso una narrazione avvincente e ben documentata, il libro offre un viaggio attraverso le tappe chiave dell'evoluzione umana, esaminando le scoperte archeologiche, le innovazioni culturali e le trasformazioni sociali che hanno plasmato il corso della storia. Dal momento in cui i nostri antenati Australopitechi si muovevano sulle savane africane fino alle prime comunità di cacciatori-raccoglitori, dalle prime forme di agricoltura alle prime civiltà, "Homo Genesis" offre una visione completa e dettagliata delle origini e dello sviluppo dell'umanità. Attraverso l'analisi delle opere d'arte preistoriche, dei siti archeologici e delle testimonianze storiche, il libro esplora le relazioni sociali, le credenze religiose e le strutture politiche delle antiche società umane. Allo stesso tempo, si spinge oltre il passato remoto per esaminare le implicazioni della nostra storia evolutiva per il presente e il futuro, riflettendo sulle sfide e sulle opportunità che affrontiamo come specie nell'era moderna. "Homo Genesis" è molto più di un semplice libro di storia; è un'invito a esplorare le profondità della nostra storia e a riflettere sul nostro posto nel mondo. Con una narrazione avvincente, dati accurati e una panoramica completa delle scoperte più recenti della ricerca archeologica ed evolutiva, il libro offre un'opportunità unica di comprendere meglio chi siamo, da dove veniamo e dove stiamo andando come specie.
Download or read book The Complete World of Human Evolution written by chris stringer and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human domination of the earth is now so complete that it is easy to forget how recently our role in the history of the planet began. The earliest apes evolved around twenty million years ago, yet Homo sapiens has existed for a mere 160,000 years. In the intervening period, dozens of species of early ape and human have lived and died out, leaving behind the fossilized remains that have helped to make the detailed picture of our evolution revealed here. Since this book was first published in 2005 there have been exciting new developments in the story of ape and human evolution, and the authors take account of them in this revised edition. The big gap in the fossil record in Africa is beginning to be filled with the discovery of several new species of apes in Kenya and Ethiopia that date from ten to nine million years ago. There are new discoveries of Australopithecus, updates on the dating of hominin sites, results of new DNA analyses, and much more. Illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and reconstruction drawings, this is essential reading for anyone interested in human origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La nostra passione per gli scimpanzé e altri primati non è una novità. King Kong, Tarzan, l'esercito di primati sul pianeta delle scimmie, gli oranghi allo zoo: quando si tratta di primati, noi umani sembriamo incapaci di averne abbastanza. E forse ha senso, dato che sono i nostri cugini evolutivi più stretti. In effetti, potremmo essere molto più legati ad altri primati di quanto si pensasse in precedenza. L'Homo sapiens è una specie complessa e affascinante, una specie che, in quest'epoca di tecnologia e automazione, non è mai stato così importante da comprendere. Questo libro spiega una rivelazione che ha aperto nuove opportunità per comprendere l'essenza umana e l'evoluzione umana, una comprensione che ha il suo lato bello e brutale.

Book excerpt: New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century New York Times Bestseller A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Download or read book Human Evolution written by Bernard Grant Campbell and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new fourth edition, Campbell has revised and updated his classic introduction to the field. Human Evolution synthesizes the major findings of modern research and theory and presents a complete and integrated account of the evolution of human beings. New developments in microbiology and recent fossil records are incorporated into the enormous range of this volume, with the resulting text as lucid and comprehensive as earlier editions. The fourth edition retains the thematic structure and organization of the third, with its cogent treatment of human variability and speciation, primate locomotion, and nonverbal communication and the evolution of language, supported by more than 150 detailed illustrations and an expanded and updated glossary and bibliography. As in prior editions, the book treats evolution as a concomitant development of the main behavioral and functional complexes of the genus Homo among them motor control and locomotion, mastication and digestion, the senses and reproduction. It analyzes each complex in terms of its changing function, and continually stresses how the separate complexes evolve interdependently over the long course of the human journey. All these aspects are placed within the context of contemporary evolutionary and genetic theory, analyses of the varied extensions of the fossil record, and contemporary primatology and comparative morphology. The result is a primary text for undergraduate and graduate courses, one that will also serve as required reading for anthropologists, biologists, and nonspecialists with an interest in human evolution. "Synthesizes the conventional academic thought into a textbook or detailed account for lay readers. Along the chronological narrative are discussions of progress in homeostasis, the primate radiation, locomotion and the hindlimb, function and structure of the head, reproduction and social structure, and culture and society." Book News Bernard Campbell has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard and Cambridge, and has taught and conducted research in Eastern and Southern Africa. He was professor of anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, from 1970-76. Dr. Campbell is author/coauthor of Sexual Selection and the Descent of Man; Human Ecology (second edition, Aldine); Humankind Emerging and the definitive three-volume Catalogue of Fossil Hominids.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo è il romanzo avventuroso dell’evoluzione umana. Una storia che nessuno scrittore avrebbe immaginato così sorprendente. Le ultime scoperte scientifiche hanno infatti rivoluzionato le nostre idee sulla storia naturale di Homo sapiens. Facendo dialogare biologia evoluzionistica, paleoantropologia, genetica ed ecologia in una sorta di avvincente biografia familiare, Telmo Pievani va alla scoperta della molteplicità delle specie umane vissute negli ultimi sei milioni di anni e della complessità del popolamento sulla Terra, nella convinzione che non si possa comprendere a pieno il significato dei processi di globalizzazione contemporanei senza una loro collocazione nel tempo profondo della planetarizzazione della nostra specie. Per capire da dove veniamo e, forse, dove andiamo, in un libro in cui scienza e scrittura letteraria si mescolano fin dalla prima pagina.

Download or read book Human Evolution written by John L. Bradshaw and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade has seen an explosive burst of new information about human origins and our evolutionary status with respect to other species. We have long been considered unique as upright, bipedal creatures endowed with language, the ability to use tools, to think and introspect. We now know that other creatures may be more or less capable of similar behaviour, and that these human capacities in many cases have long evolutionary trajectories. Our information about such matters comes from a diverse variety of disciplines, including experimental and neuropsychology, primatology, ethology, archaeology, palaeontology, comparative linguistics and molecular biology. It is the interdisciplinary nature of the newly-emerging information which bears upon one of the profoundest scientific human questions - our origin and place in the animal kingdom, whether unique or otherwise - which makes the general topic so fascinating to layperson, student, and expert alike. The book attempts to integrate across a wide range of disciplines an evolutionary view of human psychology, with particular reference to language, praxis and aesthetics. A chapter on evolution, from the appearance of life to the earliest mammals, is followed by one which examines the appearance of primates, hominids and the advent of bipedalism. There follows a more detailed account of the various species of Homo, the morphology and origin of modern H. sapiens sapiens as seen from the archaeological/palaeontological and molecular-biological perspectives. The origins of art and an aesthetic sense in the Acheulian and Mousterian through to the Upper Palaeolithic are seen in the context of the psychology of art. Two chapters on language address its nature and realization centrally and peripherally, the prehistory and neuropsychology of speech, and evidence for speech and/or language in our hominid ancestors. A chapter on tool use and praxis examines such behaviour in other species, primate and non-primate, the neurology of praxis and its possible relation to language. Encephalization and the growth of the brain, phylogenetically and ontogenetically, and its relationship to intellectual capacity leads on finally to a consideration of intelligence, social intelligence, consciousness and self awareness. A final chapter reviews the issues covered. The book, of around 70.000 words of text, includes over 500 references over half of which date from 1994 or later.
