New Scientist Essential Guide No.04: Our Human Story
Kate Douglas (editor)
Few stories have been so fundamentally rewritten in the past decades as our own human story. New fossils and genetic techniques have replaced the simple “out of Africa” picture with a far more nuanced tale, as our ancestors and mysterious others such as Denisovans and Neanderthals interacted across the world.
In recent decades, new fossil finds and insights from ancient DNA have upended almost everything we thought we knew about the origins of our species, Homo sapiens.
Our fourth Essential Guide guides you through what we know about questions from:
Who our ancestors were.
How and why humans left our native African home.
Our relationships with other species such as the Neanderthals.
Where our propensity for morality, art and language comes from.
Chapters
1. The New Fossil Story
2. The Origin of Our Species
3. What Ancient DNA Tells Us
4. Going Global
5. The "Others"
6. What Makes Us Human
