A New Scientist Book of the Year Prehistory is all around us. We
just need to know where to look. Juan Jose Millas has always felt
like he doesn't quite fit into human society. Sometimes he wonders
if he is even a Homo sapiens at all. Perhaps he is a Neanderthal
who somehow survived? So he turns to Juan Luis Arsuaga, one of the
world's leading palaeontologists and a super-smart sapiens, to
explain why we are the way we are and where we come from. Over the
course of many months the two visit different places, many of them
common scenes of our daily lives, and others unique archaeological
sites. Arsuaga tries to teach the Neanderthal how to think like a
sapiens and, above all, that prehistory is not a thing of the past:
that traces of humanity through the millennia can be found
anywhere, from a cave or a landscape to a children's playground or
a toy shop. Millas and Arsuaga invite you on a journey of wonder
that unites scientific discovery with the greatest human invention
of all: the art of storytelling.
