Download or read book Kindred written by Rebecca Wragg Sykes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** WINNER OF THE PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZE 2021 ** 'Beautiful, evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox 'Important reading not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours, but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins. Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside clichés of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. Much of what defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside us. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality. Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us, revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our ancient, shared inheritance.

Download or read book Lone Survivors written by Chris Stringer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading researcher on human evolution proposes a new and controversial theory of how our species came to be In this groundbreaking and engaging work of science, world-renowned paleoanthropologist Chris Stringer sets out a new theory of humanity's origin, challenging both the multiregionalists (who hold that modern humans developed from ancient ancestors in different parts of the world) and his own "out of Africa" theory, which maintains that humans emerged rapidly in one small part of Africa and then spread to replace all other humans within and outside the continent. Stringer's new theory, based on archeological and genetic evidence, holds that distinct humans coexisted and competed across the African continent—exchanging genes, tools, and behavioral strategies. Stringer draws on analyses of old and new fossils from around the world, DNA studies of Neanderthals (using the full genome map) and other species, and recent archeological digs to unveil his new theory. He shows how the most sensational recent fossil findings fit with his model, and he questions previous concepts (including his own) of modernity and how it evolved. Lone Survivors will be the definitive account of who and what we were, and will change perceptions about our origins and about what it means to be human.

Download or read book The Neanderthals Rediscovered How Modern Science Is Rewriting Their Story The Rediscovered Series written by Dimitra Papagianni and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Even-handed, up-to-date, and clearly written. . . . If you want to navigate between the Scylla and Charybdis of Neanderthal controversies, you’ll find no better guide.” —Brian Fagan, author of Cro-Magnon In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthal has been transformed thanks to new discoveries and paradigm-shattering scientific innovations. It turns out that the Neanderthals’ behavior was surprisingly modern: they buried the dead, cared for the sick, hunted large animals in their prime, harvested seafood, and spoke. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies have forced a reassessment of the Neanderthals’ place in our own past. For hundreds of thousands of years, Neanderthals evolved in Europe very much in parallel to the Homo sapiens line evolving in Africa, and, when both species made their first forays into Asia, the Neanderthals may even have had the upper hand. Here, Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A. Morse look at the Neanderthals through the full dramatic arc of their existence—from their evolution in Europe to their expansion to Siberia, their subsequent extinction, and ultimately their revival in popular novels, cartoons, cult movies, and TV commercials.

Download or read book Neanderthal Alive written by Jan Simonson and published by Hominid Books. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khipa Shulgin is a reindeer herder and wildlife guide living with his brothers on an island in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Khipa has inherited a life-threatening heart ailment and travels to the mainland village of Ossora for medical help. After a physical examination, the doctor orders genetic testing and refers Khipa to a cardiologist in Vladivostok. While waiting for his travel arrangements to be finalized, Khipa discovers a poacher’s cache and gathers a bear paw as evidence. In Vladivostok, Khipa delivers the paw to a geneticist who uses DNA to convict wildlife criminals. Khipa also connects with an undercover cop who chases poachers, and the bear paw becomes key evidence in breaking up a poaching ring. As Khipa undergoes medical treatment, archaeologists working at a dig site on his island uncover stone tools made by Neanderthals, and speculation arises that Khipa and his brothers are living Neanderthals. Khipa asks the geneticist to examine his DNA profile to quash these rumours, hoping to prove he’s a modern human and preserve his traditional lifestyle. Instead, Khipa learns he is 85% Neanderthal. To further complicate matters, the government collects DNA from his brothers, and a global storm of interest is unleashed. As he comes to terms with his genetic lineage and with a life-saving device in his chest, Khipa takes on a legal battle to save his island, and his people, from developers and speculators. In so doing, Khipa uncovers dark secrets from Kamchatka’s past and the sordid world of wildlife trafficking. Above all, he learns to survive as a Neanderthal in the modern world. The narrative transports the reader back in time—to the Neanderthal era. Onar and his clan meet a strange and hostile human, Homo sapiens, but fail to build friendly relations. Kidnappings, thievery, and violence break out, and the Neanderthals struggle to defend their homes and territories. When game becomes scarce and starvation threatens their survival, Onar’s descendants abandon their homeland and disappear into the mist to become one of earth’s “uncontacted peoples”—until the modern world discovers Neanderthals are still alive.

By using new advances in genetics and taking us through important archaeological discoveries, Professor Alice Roberts helps us better understand life today. ‘This is a terrific, timely and transporting book - taking us heart, body and mind beyond history, to the fascinating truth of the prehistoric past and the present’ Bettany Hughes We often think of Britain springing from nowhere with the arrival of the Romans.
