But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste.\u003ci\u003e Humans\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book is:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewritten by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebuilt from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHumans \u003c\/i\u003easks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature.
