Have you ever wanted to know how Homo sapiens became “human?”

In the beginning, Homo sapiens was just one of the human species in the world. After centuries of coexistence, it was the only survivor. How did that happen?

This captivating book on Homo sapiens uncovers the secrets of our species and what made us human. From their humble beginnings in the dawn of prehistory, Homo sapiens rose to become one of the most resilient species in the world.

Unlike many other creatures, Homo sapiens lack the physical prowess of fierce predators. Yet, armed with an exceptional cognitive capacity, our species has defied the odds. How did we achieve that?

This book uncovers the fascinating stories locked within our DNA, as well as our cultural legacy, tracing the history of our species since its very beginnings. Our cognitive capabilities and advanced communication skills have paved the way for our species’ success. From harnessing the power of fire to mastering the art of metalworking, our ancestors were relentless inventors who tamed the wild and conquered new frontiers.

Transporting readers back in time, this captivating exploration begins seven million years ago in Africa. Witness the remarkable moment when a group of primates started walking upright, setting in motion the extraordinary story of our species.

In the book, you will discover these fascinating things about Homo sapiens:
  • How walking upright made us human
  • What was the relationship between Homo sapiens and the Neanderthals
  • How Homo sapiens became the last surviving human species on Earth
  • All about Homo sapiens migrations around the globe throughout prehistory
  • Fascinating insights about prehistoric stone tools
  • How our species developed language and human thought
  • How the invention of agriculture revolutionized the world

Clearly written, scholarly but not stuffed with too much detail to be unreadable. Like a fascinating novel, but smarter. So many facets of our very existence explained. I will take a break, then reread it to absorb even more information. Loved it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023
I have enjoyed many of your books, but was disappointed that you would try to make evolution seem like it is 'History'. There are so many proofs that evolution is a theory that has been questioned and debunked by many. My prayer is that many people will seek out answers to these questions. I would be glad to share resources regarding this.

This book is interesting & informative. This is an area that is constantly changing, as our knowledge & technological tools expands, so this book will likely be out of date soon. But for now, it's good.

While I had known a little bit of odd facts, it was nice to learn a more comprehensive recount of the evolution of Homo Sapiens.
