A Pocket History of Human Evolution: How We Became Sapiens

Thanks to recent advancements in the field of prehistoric sciences, what we now know about our ancient relatives is rapidly evolving. A Pocket History of Human Evolution provides a condensed guide to the complex history of our species that allows us to better our understanding of ourselves. From the research director of the National Center for Scientific Research, Silvana Condemi explores how certain physiological features shaped our role as the only still-surviving species of bipedal “humans.” Could it have been our capacity to develop tools, radical brain development, or our unique sociocultural structure that set us apart? The conclusions are likely to surprise you.
