Ancient Bones: Unearthing the Astonishing New Story of How We Became Human
by Madelaine Böhme, Rüdiger Braun, Florian Breier
Description
Drawing on fossil discoveries, geological evidence, and the latest advances in paleoanthropology, this book revisits the traditional story of human evolution and asks where our earliest ancestors truly emerged. It follows the investigation of ancient bones and other traces of life across Europe and Africa, challenging long-held assumptions about the origins, migrations, and diversification of early hominins. Along the way, it explores how climate change, shifting landscapes, and scientific debate have shaped our understanding of what it means to become human. Engaging and provocative, the book offers a richly detailed account of discovery while presenting its groundbreaking claims as part of an ongoing conversation in evolutionary science.
