How do scientists delineate the boundaries of Homo sapiens and differentiate our species from the extinct hominins that preceded us? This enlightening book delves into the latest scientific breakthroughs, particularly in genetics, revolutionizing our comprehension of human evolution. Paul Pettitt unveils the extraordinary tale of how our ancestors weathered harsh and ever-changing climates, fostering remarkable innovations in art, technology, and society that are only now beginning to be fully understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a wealth of twenty-five years of field experience, Paul Pettitt immerses readers in the caves and rock shelters that provide evidence of our African origins, dispersals to the far-flung regions of Eurasia, Australasia, and ultimately the Americas. While popular accounts of human evolution often focus on biomolecular research, particularly genetics, this book also draws from a rich tapestry of information derived from specific excavations and artifacts, including the author's own investigations into the origins of art and its evolution over the first 25,000 years. With a particular emphasis on behavior, the book employs archaeological evidence to offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of our distant ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 674g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 243 x 36 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780500252635\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Pettitt","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105228386554,"sku":"9780500252635","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1668766713100_book.jpg?v=1668788485","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/homo-sapiens-rediscovered-the-scientific-revolution-rewriting-our-origins-9780500252635","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
