Krátky popis
There is a little Neanderthal in all of us. Although they have been
extinct for 40,000 years, our genetic inheritance means that they
are not entirely gone. Since the publication of the first
Neanderthal genome in 2010, our understanding of the Neanderthals -
and our connection to them - has changed dramatically.Once
stereotyped as simple and brutish, recent discoveries by
archaeologists and geneticists have painted a different picture of
Neanderthals, and one more familiar to us: they buried their dead,
cared for the sick, and even painted cave walls. We can now delve
into their DNA to trace their evolution in Europe and movements
across Asia, and piece together how they lived and died in amazing
detail. This fully updated edition presents cutting-edge research
on our fascinating hominin relatives: their interbreeding with
humans and other species including the recently discovered
Denisovans, their social behaviours such as smiling to indicate
friendliness, and the genes they have passed down to us that could
be affecting our health.By confronting our differences and
similarities to the Neanderthals, this book addresses the biggest
question of all: what it means to be human.
