Resumen del Editor
Fifty thousand years ago - merely a blip in evolutionary time - our Homo sapiens ancestors were competing for existence with several other human species, just as their precursors had done for millions of years. Yet something about our species distinguished it from the pack, and ultimately led to its survival while the rest became extinct. Just what was it that allowed Homo sapiens to become masters of the planet? Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us deep into the fossil record to uncover what made humans so special. Surveying a vast field from initial bipedality to language and intelligence, Tattersall argues that Homo sapiens acquired a winning combination of traits that was not the result of long-term evolutionary refinement. Instead, the final result emerged quickly, shocking our world and changing it forever.

In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthals 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 communicated with spoken language. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies are compelling us to reassess the Neanderthals' place in our own past.

A Pocket History of Human Evolution brings us up-to-date on the exploits of all our ancient relatives. Paleoanthropologist Silvana Condemi and science journalist François Savatier consider what accelerated our evolution: Was it tools, our "large" brains, language, empathy, or something else entirely? And why are we the sole survivors among many early bipedal humans? Their conclusions reveal the various ways ancient humans live on today - from gossip as modern "grooming" to our gendered division of labor - and what the future might hold for our strange and unique species.

But what if it were possible to build, or grow, a real dinosaur without finding ancient DNA? Jack Horner, the scientist who advised Steven Spielberg on the blockbuster film Jurassic Park and a pioneer in bringing paleontology into the 21st century, teams up with the editor of the New York Times's Science Times section to reveal exactly what's in store.

Over the past 20 years, paleontologists have made tremendous fossil discoveries, including fossils that mark the growth of whales, manatees, and seals from land mammals and the origins of elephants, horses, and rhinos. Today there exists an amazing diversity of fossil humans, suggesting we walked upright long before we acquired large brains, and new evidence from molecules that enable scientists to decipher the tree of life as never before.

A list of the attributes that define a mammal is a ragbag of things - fur, live birth, three bones in the middle ear, a brain whose two halves are robustly joined together.... But this curious collection of features contain the roots of all the biology that makes us what we are: monkeys with massive brains who parent extensively, enjoy sport and think lots. Which is to say, what makes us mammals makes us human.

Drawing partly on his own career - from young scientist in awe of his elders to crotchety elder statesman - Tattersall offers an idiosyncratic look at the competitive world of paleoanthropology.

In this accessible account palaeoarchaeologist Paul Pettitt shows how the latest scientific advances, especially in genetics, are revolutionizing our understanding of human evolution. Pettitt reveals the extraordinary story of how our ancestors adapted to unforgiving and relentlessly changing climates, leading to remarkable innovations in art, technology, and society that we are only now beginning to comprehend.

In 1994, a team led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White—"the Steve Jobs of paleoanthropology"—uncovered the bones of a human ancestor in Ethiopia's Afar region. The findings challenged many assumptions about human evolution and repudiated a half-century of paleoanthropological orthodoxy. An intriguing tale of scientific discovery, obsession and rivalry that moves from the sun-baked desert of Africa to modern high-tech labs and academic lecture halls, Fossil Men is popular science at its best, and a must-listen for fans of Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, and Edward O. Wilson.

A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger's own take on finding Homo naledi, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century. In 2013, Lee Berger, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, heard of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around the world for petite collaborators - men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through eight-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave forty feet underground. It worked.

Historia
Who are we? How do scientists define Homo sapiens, and how does our species differ from the extinct hominins that came before us? In this accessible account palaeoarchaeologist Paul Pettitt shows how the latest scientific advances, especially in genetics, are revolutionizing our understanding of human evolution. Pettitt reveals the extraordinary story of how our ancestors adapted to unforgiving and relentlessly changing climates, leading to remarkable innovations in art, technology, and society that we are only now beginning to comprehend.

Historia
In 1994, a team led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White—"the Steve Jobs of paleoanthropology"—uncovered the bones of a human ancestor in Ethiopia's Afar region. The findings challenged many assumptions about human evolution and repudiated a half-century of paleoanthropological orthodoxy. An intriguing tale of scientific discovery, obsession and rivalry that moves from the sun-baked desert of Africa to modern high-tech labs and academic lecture halls, Fossil Men is popular science at its best, and a must-listen for fans of Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, and Edward O. Wilson.

Best-selling author Brian Fagan brings early humans out of the deep freeze with his trademark mix of erudition, cutting-edge science, and vivid storytelling. Cro-Magnon reveals human society in its infancy, facing enormous environmental challenges - including a rival species of humans, the Neanderthals. For ten millennia, Cro-Magnons lived side by side with Neanderthals, an encounter that Fagan fills with drama.

Historia
A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger's own take on finding Homo naledi, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century. In 2013, Lee Berger, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, heard of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around the world for petite collaborators - men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through eight-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave forty feet underground. It worked.

Historia
We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet - having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art - while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins?

Mankind has a distinct advantage over other terrestrial species: we talk to one another. But how did we acquire the most advanced form of communication on Earth? Daniel L. Everett, a "bombshell" linguist and "instant folk hero" (Tom Wolfe, Harper's), provides in this sweeping history a comprehensive examination of the evolutionary story of language, from the earliest speaking attempts by hominids to the more than 7,000 languages that exist today.

Wonderful book about the rise of Homo sapiens!
This is a beautifully written book about the origins of Homo sapiens by a preeminent authority in primatology and paleoanthropology, Ian Tattersall, who holds an Emeritus designation at the American Museum of Natural History. The book is written for a general audience.
I happened to visit the American Museum of Natural History recently and spied this book in their bookstore. I have a fascination about how our species, Homo sapiens, arose. Just who were our ancestors? This small volume will provide the reader with a number of answers. Obviously, there are gaps in our knowledge, but Mr. Tattersall offers his expert opinion when confronting the various options and paths ahead.
Ian Tattersall has written a remarkable book on a very deep subject. Just where did we come from? I had the feeling I was listening to listening to one of the finest professors in the world address this subject. I can recommend this book without reservation. I am most grateful that experts like Ian Tattersall are willing to write popular books and not limit their writings to scientific journals which are read by the same small group of experts! There are many of us "non-experts" who are interested in this subject and would like to know more from an acknowledged expert. I say "Bravo!" to Ian Tattersall.

Great Book, Some Sloppy Editing
Excellent book, and a good narrator. The issue here is with the editor: Edit out the "tisks!" It's such an easy thing to do, it's an easily identifiable waveform amd simple to cut out--it's mind boggling that whoever edited this audio just left those tisks and deep breaths in, as though it adds texture to the narration. It doesn't, it's just incredibly sloppy editing that is not the narrator's fault. I enjoyed his voice, perhaps a bit fast-paced, but good overall. And this book is phenomenal. I just had to point out that editing miss, thank you for indulging me.

great book but too fast of an audio book
this is a great book. I specifically enjoyed the fact that the author only relies on the evidence and brimgs up conclusions as speculations rather than facts which some books do. my only problem with the audiobook was that given such scientifically heavy subject, it would have been easier to follow if read at a slower pace.

Excellent Listen
I very much enjoyed the logical ordering the author took to explain the rise of Homo sapiens and the presentation by the narrator. I am firmly a non-scientist in terms of background knowledge but found the material interesting and accessible. This is a really nice read.

Judge A Book By . . . 😙✨
‘How many time you back up’, just to find out what you may have missed the first time is the real gauge of its’ worth . Or perhaps in this case, backing up the second or even the third time demonstrates the real advantage to Audible. Also, Bob Souer’s voice— the narrator—is so easy to listen to it almost overshadows the book itself. I would gladly start this book over but what for—I’ve already listened to the best parts two times end more. Great book—if you’re hungry for human evolution but ever if you’re not, you need this information anyway.

Despite acknowledging the negative theories of who we are and where we’re going as a species, the author stays surprisingly optimistic about humanity and our ability to innovate into a limitless future.

An excellent overview of human evolution
This book is written in the non-condescending language geared towards an intelligent non-expert, giving a strong and non-sensationalized overview of one of the most fascinating areas in modern science. The book covers roughly the time from the divergence from our common ancestor with chimpanzees to the formation of speech. It acknowledges and dismisses many popular misconceptions about human origins (such as our ancestors learning to stand in order to see over tall grasses) and matter-of-factly states questions that remain open and why they are so. Overall I learned quite a bit from this book and look forward to future developments in this rapidly progressing field that may answer some of those still-open questions.
