This Element follows the development of humans in constantly
changing climates and environments from Homo erectus 1.9 million
years ago, to fully modern humans who moved out of Africa to Europe
and Asia 70,000 years ago. Biosemiotics reveals meaningful
communication among coevolving members of the intricately connected
life forms on this dynamic planet. Within this web hominins
developed culture from bipedalism and meat-eating to the use of
fire, stone tools, and clothing, allowing wide migrations and
adaptations. Archaeology and ancient DNA analysis show how fully
modern humans overlapped with Neanderthals and Denisovans before
emerging as the sole survivors of the genus Homo 35,000 years ago.
Their visions of the world appear in magnificent cave paintings and
bone sculptures of animals, then more recently in written
narratives like the Gilgamesh epic and Euripides' Bacchae whose
images still haunt us with anxieties about human efforts to control
the natural world.
