The Accidental Species

Misunderstandings Of Human Evolution

by Henry Gee
language: english
Publisher: THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS, October of 2013 ‧
Presents a robust and stark challenge to our tendency to see ourselves as the acme of creation. Human exceptionalism, this book argues, is an error that can infect scientific thought. It aims to overturn popular thinking on human evolution - the key is not what's missing, but how we're linked.
