[edit] Becoming Human
Investigates the origins of those characteristics and processes that so distinguish human beings, such as creativity, language, and consciousness.
One of the traits that distinguishes us from our nearest ancestors is our curiosity about the origins of our species. In his new book, Ian Tattersall (author of The Fossil Trail) discusses human uniqueness, investigating the origins of those charachteristics and processes that so distinguish human beings, such as creativity, language, and consciousness. Taking the reader around the world, stopping in France to examine 30,000-year-old cave paintings, in Africa to see where our earliest ancestors left their bones, and in remote forests to spy on our closest relatives, the great apes, Tattersall uncovers what it is that makes us really different and what the future might hold for our species. Early reviews of Becoming Human: `The best book on human evolution I've ever read' Nile Eldredge, Curator, Department of Invertabrates, the American Museum of Natural History `Tattersall's most recent contribution is the most concise, most readable, and most thoughtful treatment available on the subject of human evolution. This is a must-read for everyone intrigued by their origins and place in nature.' Donald Johanson, Professor of Anthropology, Arizona State University `Tattersall engages the reader in a fascinating comtemplation of just how we differ from all other organisms.' Jeffrey Schwartz, author of The Red Ape and What the Bones Tell Us
