** WINNER OF THE PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZE 2021 ** 'Beautiful,
evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox 'Important reading
not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours,
but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari
Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. Since their
discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed
from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.
Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of
Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of
Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy
wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of
their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable.
Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000
years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. Much of what
defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside
us. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic
sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond
mortality. Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us,
revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our
ancient, shared inheritance.
