The astonishing new story of human origins Was Darwin wrong when he
traced our origins to Africa? The Real Planet of the Apes makes the
explosive claim that it was in Europe, not Africa, where apes
evolved the most important hallmarks of our human lineage. In this
compelling and accessible book, David Begun, one of the world's
leading paleoanthropologists, transports readers to an epoch in the
remote past when the Earth was home to many migratory populations
of ape species. Begun draws on the latest astonishing discoveries
in the fossil record, as well as his own experiences conducting
field expeditions, to offer a sweeping evolutionary history of
great apes and humans. He tells the story of how one of the
earliest members of our evolutionary group evolved from lemur-like
monkeys in the primeval forests of Africa. Begun then vividly
describes how, over the next ten million years, these hominoids
expanded into Europe and Asia and evolved climbing and hanging
adaptations, longer maturation times, and larger brains. As the
climate deteriorated in Europe, these apes either died out or
migrated south, reinvading the African continent and giving rise to
the lineages of African great apes, and, ultimately, humans.
Presenting startling new insights, The Real Planet of the Apes
fundamentally alters our understanding of human origins.
