Our human nature
leads us to wonder where we came from – something we find
instinctively compelling. Yet there are many people who rely
on stories, often rather garbled stories coloured by centuries
of politics, when there is concrete evidence to marvel at.
The evidence may be sparse, but it is there, in the ground.
Specialists look at bones, at the geology of where they came
from and at the molecules in association that can be analysed
for their chemical composition and their DNA.
This book gives
an account of the researchers and their exciting discoveries,
culminating in the little hobbit from Flores, Indonesia. That
most recent ‘find’ tells us that not so long ago our species
was not the only human one on the planet!
