Krátky popis
Where did we come from? Where are we going?Homo sapiens is the most
successful, the most widespread and the most influential species
ever to walk the Earth. In the blink of an evolutionary eye we have
spread around the globe, taken control of Earth's biological and
mineral resources, transformed the environment, discovered the
secrets of the universe and travelled into space. Yet just 7
million years ago, we were just another species of great ape making
a quiet living in the forests of East Africa.We do not know exactly
what this ancestor was like, but it was no more likely than a
chimpanzee or gorilla to sail across the ocean, write a symphony,
invent a steam engine or ponder the meaning of existence. How did
we get from there to here?Human Origins recounts the most
astonishing evolutionary tale ever told. Discover how our ancestors
made the first tentative steps towards becoming human, how we lost
our fur but gained language, fire and tools, how we strode out of
Africa, invented farming and cities and ultimately created modern
civilisation - perhaps the only one of its kind in the
universe.Meet your long-lost ancestors, the other humans who once
shared the planet with us, and learn where the story might end.
