Summary: Traveling backward 35,000 years, this program visits a time when glaciers stretched across the Eurasian continent and a highly intelligent and adaptable hominid species roamed the landscape. The Neanderthal was an early ancestor-or, according to some experts, a rival-of human beings; a bulky creature with the intellect to survive an ice age, create art, and practice religion. But over a period...

Tattersall, Ian

Summary: Argues that a long tradition of "human exceptionalism" in paleoanthropology has distorted the picture of human evolution. Drawing partly on his own career-- from young scientist in awe of his elders to crotchety elder statesman-- Tattersall offers an idiosyncratic look at the competitive world of paleoanthropology, beginning with Charles Darwin 150 years ago, and continuing through the Leakey...
