A Pocket History of Human Evolution

A concise, illustrated update on our earliest ancestors, the first sapiens - and on how (and when) we distinguished ourselves. Prehistory is changing quickly: Thanks to progress in genetics and dating methods, we now know more than ever about our ancient relatives. A Pocket History of Human Evolution will bring us up to date on the exploits of Homo erectus and ergaster, the Neanderthals, Denisovans, and others. (Hint: There was a lot more crossbreeding than previously supposed.)These latest discoveries have only spurred more questions.
