by Tom Higham
Published by Viking. 1st. 2021
Nearly fine condition in a very good dustwrapper. Following the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that enabled us to better predict not just how long ago other human species lived (Neanderthals, Denisovans, 'Hobbits' and Homo luzonensis), but how they lived. Could they make art, recall their dreams, or joke? Did they play music, or use medicine? What might Homo sapiens have learned from them? Yellow cloth boards, black title to spine. B/w photos and charts, a few colour photos. xiv and 296 pages including index.
A lovely copy. Black dustwrapper is scuffed.
