This illuminating book explores how the latest scientific advances, especially in genetics, are revolutionising our understanding of human evolution.

Popular accounts of the evolution of \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e emphasise biomolecular research, notably genetics, but this book also draws from the wealth of information from specific excavations and artefacts, including the author's own investigations into the origins of art and how it evolved over its first 25,000 years. He focuses in particular on behaviour, using archaeological evidence to bring an intimate perspective on lives as they were lived in the almost unimaginably distant past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833148625132,"sku":"9780500252635","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2347213482366.jpg?v=1758439526"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-pettitt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
