| Book Description | For too long the Neanderthals have been seen as dim-witted evolutionary dead-enders who looked and behaved completely differently from us, but in recent years their story has been transformed thanks to new discoveries and advances in scientific techniques. In a compelling narrative - one that has not previously been told in a way that encompasses the entire dramatic arc from evolution to expansion to extinction - this book takes a fresh and engaging look at the whole story of the Neanderthals, setting out all the evidence, redressing the balance and arriving at a fairer assessment of a species that was closely related to us - and in so doing addresses what it is to be human. |
| Editorial Review | The first complete chronological narrative of the species from emergence to extinction.... a gem ... a beautifully synthesized portrait of a powerful people' - Nature 'If you thought you knew about the Neanderthals, think again.... Prepare to have your prejudices shattered and your understanding of humanity challenged' - Clive Gamble, Professor of Archaeology, University of Southampton 'A fresh, well - informed and highly recommended introduction to the Neanderthals and the scientists who study them. The inspired pairing of a Palaeolithic expert and a historian of science makes for compelling reading' - Paul Pettitt, Professor of Archaeology, Durham University |
