Humans Before Humanity recreates the lost world of the hominid species that lived and flourished for around one million years before, and in some cases after, the evolution of modern humans some 200,000 years ago. It also investigates how, when, where and why the modern human species appeared and eventually became dominant. These subjects of a much heated controversy are of considerable interest to anthropologists, biologists, archaeologists and numerous others. Making use of a wide range of evidence, the book considers issues in evolutionary archaeology, such as the extent to which the early australopithecines, parathropines, Homo erectus, and the Neanderthals can be seen as populations on the way to being human, or as distinct, unique species. These issues lead not only towards a rational account of modern human origins, but towards an explanation of the origins and evolutionary role of cognition, communication and language -- of the knowledge that gives our species its name.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. A Near Fine copy with a crease to back cover and a touch of edgewear, otherwise in excellent condition. Brown illustrated wraps, 248pp., b/w illustrations, photographs, and graphs. // 'This book recreates the lost world of the hominid species that lived and flourished for around one million years before, and in some cases after, the evolution of modern humans some 200, 000 years ago. It also investigates how, when, where and why the modern human species appeared and in due course became dominant. These are the subjects of as much heated controversy among as they are of considerable interest to anthropologists, biologists, archaeologists and numerous others. Making use of a wide range of evidence the book considers issues in evolutionary archaeology such as how far can the early australopithecines, parathropines, Homo erectus, and the neanderthals be seen as populations on the way to being human, or as distinct, unique species? How far can these species be said to have cultural characteristics and what can be said of their social organization, group structures and adaptive strategies? How do these compare with ape communities then and now, and with those of the earliest modern humans? And do those behavioural comparisons provide a key to hominid evolution? Answering these questions leads the author not only toward a rational account of modern human origins, but toward an explanation of the origins and evolutionary role of cognition, communication and language-of the knowledge that gives our species its name. Written in non-technical language, Humans Before Humanity may be expected to have a significant scientific impact and to be of very wide interest indeed. '--publisher.
