Physically, we (TM)re unremarkable in the animal world " a hairless ape. However, when combined, our characteristics make us remarkable. How can our fingers open this book with such precision, prising apart pages just a fraction of a millimetre thick? How can we understand the symbols in it and read the thoughts someone has transferred to the page? With our union of dexterity and brainpower, we discovered ways to find food and overcome the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat, from the jungle to the Arctic wasteland. Uncovering exactly how we did this is not easy. Each fossil or flint tool discovery rewrites the human story. This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions " all through the lens of the human body. Do women have hearts, lungs, and legs adapted to running down prey because they inherited their fathers (TM) hunting DNA, or because, in fact, they did their share of hunting themselves? Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside mind-expanding diagrams of what we achieved with it.
