Homo Sapiens Rediscovered: The Scientific Revolution Rewriting Our Origins (The Rediscovered Series)
by Paul Pettit
Description
Drawing on breakthroughs in archaeology, genetics, dating techniques, and the study of ancient landscapes, this book reexamines what it means to be human and how our species came to shape the world. It traces the evolving evidence for Homo sapiens—from our African origins and encounters with other human species to the emergence of culture, symbolism, and complex societies—while questioning long-standing assumptions about human exceptionalism. Accessible and thought-provoking, it shows how a scientific revolution is transforming our understanding of humanity’s deep past and the forces that continue to define us.
