Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzee and bonobo. We
share many characteristics with them, but our lineages diverged
millions of years ago. Who in fact was our last common ancestor?
Bringing together ecology, evolution, genetics, anatomy and
geology, this book provides a new perspective on human evolution.
What can fossil apes tell us about the origins of human evolution?
Did the last common ancestor of apes and humans live in trees or on
the ground? What did it eat, and how did it survive in a world full
of large predators? Did it look anything like living apes? Andrews
addresses these questions and more to reconstruct the common
ancestor and its habitat. Synthesising thirty-five years of work on
both ancient environments and fossil and modern ape anatomy, this
book provides unique new insights into the evolutionary processes
that led to the origins of the human lineage.
