Download or read book The World Before Us written by Tom Higham and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The who, what, where, when and how of human evolution, from one of the world's experts on the dating of prehistoric fossils' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs 'Fascinating and entertaining. If you read one book on human origins, this should be it' Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules - For Now 50,000 years ago, we were not the only species of human in the world. There were at least four others, including the Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis, Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham. In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us, told for the first time with its full cast of characters.

Book Synopsis A Systematic Study of the Genus Siriella (Crustacea: Mysida) from the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, with Descriptions of Fifteen New Species by : Masaaki Murano
Download or read book A Systematic Study of the Genus Siriella (Crustacea: Mysida) from the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, with Descriptions of Fifteen New Species written by Masaaki Murano and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty known species and four known varieties of the genus Siriella from the Pacific Ocean, the Indian and their marginal seas are revised. A nominal species, S. gibba is ranked in a junior synonym of S. brevirostris, because it is judged to be an immature stage of female S. brevirostris. Three varieties, S. japonica var. izuensie, S. watasei var koreana and S. satasei var macropsis, are abandoned as nomen nudum, and proposed afresh as new species under the name of S. izuensis, S. koreana and S. macropsis, respectively. A variety, S. japonica var. sagamiensis is canceled, because the description of this variety must have made based on immature forms of S. izuensis. The validity of S. robusta is questionable by reason that the description must have done on immature specimens. Siriella intermedia is canceled as nomen nudum, because the specific name, intermedia, has been preoccupied by a species which is known as S. armata at present. The following 12 species, S. akajimaensis, S. amamiensis, S. brucei, S. chaitiamvongae, S. essingtonensis, S. iii, S. longiarticulis, S. mulyadii, S. rimata, S. scissilis, S. seafdeci, and S. tenulungula, are fully described herein as new species. Sixty-one nominal species of Siriella discussed in this article are classified into nine groups and five subgroups. Key to the species is given.

Book Synopsis The Incredible Human Journey by : Alice Roberts
Download or read book The Incredible Human Journey written by Alice Roberts and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Roberts has been travelling the world - from Ethiopian desert to Malay peninsula and from Russian steppes to Amazon basin - in order to understand the challenges that early humans faced as they tried to settle continents. On her travels she has witnessed some of the daunting and brutal challenges our ancestors had to face: mountains, deserts, oceans, changing climates, terrifying giant beasts and volcanoes. But she discovers that perhaps the most serious threat of all came from other humans. When our ancestors set out from Africa there were already two other species of human on the planet: Neanderthal in Europe and Homo erectus in Asia. Both (contrary to popular perception) were intelligent, adept at making tools and weapons and were long adapted to their environments. So, Alice asks, why did only Homo sapiens survive? Part detective story, part travelogue, and drawing on the latest genetic and archaeological discoveries, Alice examines how our ancestors evolved physically in response to these challenges, finding out how our colour, shape, size, diet, disease resistance and even athletic ability have been shaped by the range of environments that our ancestors had to survive. She also relates how astonishingly closely related we all are. As a lecturer in Anatomy at Bristol University, Alice Roberts is eminently qualified to write this book. As a talented artist, she is perfectly qualified to illustrate it, and dotted throughout this lively book are many of the sketches and photographs from her travels.

Book Synopsis The World Before Us by : Thomas Higham
Download or read book The World Before Us written by Thomas Higham and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating investigation of the origin of humans, based on incredible new discoveries and advanced scientific technology "Conveys the thrill of archaeological discovery."--Alexander Larman, The Observer "Packs in startling discoveries, impressive insights and the occasional debunking of a foolish idea."--Michael Marshall, New Scientist Fifty thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was not the only species of humans in the world. There were also Neanderthals in what is now Europe, the Near East, and parts of Eurasia; Hobbits (H. floresiensis) on the island of Flores in Indonesia; Denisovans in Siberia and eastern Eurasia; and H. luzonensis in the Philippines. Tom Higham investigates what we know about these other human species and explores what can be learned from the genetic links between them and us. He also looks at whether H. erectus may have survived into the period when our ancestors first moved into Southeast Asia. Filled with thrilling tales of recent scientific discoveries, this book offers an engaging synopsis of our current understanding of human origins and raises new and interesting possibilities--particularly concerning what contact, if any, these other species might have had with us prior to their extinction.
Book Synopsis The Origins of Modern Humans by : Fred H. Smith
Download or read book The Origins of Modern Humans written by Fred H. Smith and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This update to the award-winning The Origins of Modern Humans: A World Survey of the Fossil Evidence covers the most accepted common theories concerning the emergence of modern Homo sapiens adding fresh insight from top young scholars on the key new discoveries of the past 25 years. The Origins of Modern Humans: Biology Reconsidered allows field leaders to discuss and assess the assemblage of hominid fossil material in each region of the world during the Pleistocene epoch. It features new fossil and molecular evidence, such as the evolutionary inferences drawn from assessments of modern humans and large segments of the Neandertal genome. It also addresses the impact of digital imagery and the more sophisticated morphometrics that have entered the analytical fray since 1984. Beginning with a thoughtful introduction by the authors on modern human origins, the book offers such insightful chapter contributions as: Africa: The Cradle of Modern People Crossroads of the Old World: Late Hominin Evolution in Western Asia A River Runs through It: Modern Human Origins in East Asia Perspectives on the Origins of Modern Australians Modern Human Origins in Central Europe The Makers of the Early Upper Paleolithic in Western Eurasia Neandertal Craniofacial Growth and Development and Its Relevance for Modern Human Origins Energetics and the Origin of Modern Humans Understanding Human Cranial Variation in Light of Modern Human Origins The Relevance of Archaic Genomes to Modern Human Origins The Process of Modern Human Origins: The Evolutionary and Demographic Changes Giving Rise to Modern Humans The Paleobiology of Modern Human Emergence Elegant and thought provoking, The Origins of Modern Humans: Biology Reconsidered is an ideal read for students, grad students, and professionals in human evolution and paleoanthropology.
Download or read book The Bone Readers written by Claudio Tuniz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bone Readers are a dedicated group of scholars who study the earliest human remains, their chemistry and DNA, their extinct floral and faunal contemporaries, and the geologic layers in which they were found. Their research leads them to theories about modern human origins that continually challenge conventional wisdom and cherished beliefs— about “Eve ,” Neanderthals, “hobbits,” and the Bering Straits, among others. Two leading Bone Readers and a science writer have penned a literate, authoritative summary of the current questions and the minefield of academic politics that surround it. Ideal for students in human origins or biological anthropology courses, and a delightful read.
