This book replaces the 2007 book The Human Story authored by Charles Lockwood, and has been completely rewritten to reflect scientific advancements in the last decade.Over the past 40 years there has been an explosion of species' names in the story of human evolution, due both to new discoveries and to a growing understanding of the diversity that existed in the past. Drawing on this new information, as well as their own considerable expertise and practical experience, Chris Stringer and Louise Humphrey explain in clear, easy-to-follow language, what each of the key species represents and how it contributes to our knowledge of human evolution.They describe the main sites, the individual fossils, the people and stories involved in the key discoveries and the basic facts about each species - what it looked like, how and when it lived and what it ate as well as explaining how we know all this.Includes drawings, photographs and maps throughout which demystify the fascinating cast of characters who hold the secret to man's origins.

"It's time for a new story of our origins. One reason is there a great deal of new evidence about what humans are like and the conditions that shaped human evolution. Another is that the thinking on human evolution has shifted. Evolutionists recognize that humans are very different from other animals and have been working to explain the different evolutionary path that humans took. There are still many gaps in the story, but this book describes seven points in our ancestors' tale and explains the evidence behind this description. The story begins seven million years ago, with the life of ape ancestors which were also the ancestors of today's chimpanzees and bonobos. The second point is three million years ago with an ape which walked upright and lived outside the forest. Then follows a description of the life of early humans who lived one and a half million years ago. At the fourth point, 100,000 years ago, humans lived in Africa who were physically very similar to us. The fifth is 30,000 years ago, during the last ice age, when our ancestors evolved more complex cultures. The sixth is the period of accelerating cultural evolution that began as the planet started to recover from this ice age. Finally, beginning in the 1700s, there is the transformational period we are in now, which we call Modern Times. The style of this book is unusual for a science book because it has narrative sections which illustrate the lives of our ancestors and the problems they faced."--
