This book tells the story of human evolution the epic of Homo sapiens and its colorful precursors and relatives The story begins in Africa six to seven million years ago and encompasses twenty known human species of which Homo sapiens is the sole survivor Illustrated with spectacular threedimensional scientific reconstructions portrayed in their natural habitat developed by a team of physical anthropologists at the American Museum of Natural History and in concert with experts from around the world the book is both a guide to extinct human species and an astonishing hominid family photo albumThe Last Human presents a comprehensive account of each species with information on its emergence chronology geographic range classification physiology lifestyle habitat environment cultural achievements coexisting species and possible reasons for extinction Also included are summaries of fossil discoveries controversies and publications What emerges from the fossil story is a new understanding of Homo sapiens No longer credible is the notion that our species is the end product of a single lineage improved over generations by natural selection Rather the fossil record shows we are a species with widely varied precursors and our family tree is characterized by many branchings and repeated extinctionsExhibition informationPhotographs of most of the reconstructions that appear in this book will be featured in exhibits appearing in the new Hall of Human Origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City  The opening of the Hall is planned for November 2006.
