Life began about four billion years ago on our planet. Like an old
patchwork quilt, evolution stitched the human being together from
parts of ancient species now long extinct. Like any species, humans
have hundreds or even thousands of traits that have been passed
down through time. The evolutionary age of our different traits can
be told from how widely distributed they are among today's living
creatures. The book aims to explain some human traits and how we-as
social, sexual, language-obsessed technological apes-evolved into
our own modern species. Combining hard science with philosophical
thought, this work aims to explain where humans have come from, and
where we are going. Free of complicated jargon, it breaks down the
concept of evolution starting with the human body's most basic
component-our cells. Building from there, chapters explore which
traits became inherited over evolutionary time, ultimately
projecting what could be next for our species.
