The book explains how different species evolved, both anatomically and cognitively, and describes the impacts of climatic and environmental change on this process. It also explores the nature of relationships within and between species, describes their everyday lives, and discusses how isolated individuals became members of larger social groups. The concluding chapters highlight the paramount importance of the emergence of symbolic thought and discuss its contribution to the formation of institutions, societies, and economies. The multifaceted picture that emerges will help the reader to make sense not only of ?what we were?, but also of ?what we are?, here and now. The book is both entertaining and rigorous in integrating results from a wide selection of disciplines. It will be particularly suitable for people with a curious and open mind, keen to overcome long-standing prejudices on man's place in nature. 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aPaleontology  606 $aEconomic sociology 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aPopular Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 606 $aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aPaleontology . 615 0$aEconomic sociology. 615 14$aAnthropology. 615 24$aPopular Life Sciences. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 24$aPaleontology. 615 24$aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology. 676 $a301 700 $aTuniz$b Claudio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0460977 702 $aTiberi Vipraio$b Patrizia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253310303321 996 $aHumans$92500610 997 $aUNINA
