'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.
