Walking with Cavemen: Eye-to Eye With Your Ancestors

Author(s): Lynch, John; Barrett, Louise

Coffee Table Books

This is the story of how a cocktail of extraordinary traits were combined to create us, human beings. Combining epic science with the drama of individual lives, it is the tale of everyone on the planet today. The story starts in East Africa where apes first walked on two legs. Four million years later half a dozen different species of human populated Africa but eventually Homo erectus was to dominate this world and be the first ape-man to colonise elsewhere. We follow the changing lives of each species, ending with our last rival, the physically powerful Neanderthals, to discover that it was through pure good fortune that Homo sapiens survived to dominate the world. Our story is told as continuous narrative with feature boxes explaining the science and easy-to-use fact boxes on each of the species.  
Foreword by Robert Winston.
