PDF-(EBOOK)-Born in Africa: The Quest for the Origins of Human Life

Africa does not give up its secrets easily Buried there lie answers about the origins of humankind After a century of investigation scientists have transformed our understanding about the beginnings of human life But vital clues still remain hiddenIn Born in Africa Martin Meredith follows the trail of discoveries about human origins made by scientists over the last hundred years recounting their intense rivalry personal feuds and fierce controversies as well as their feats of skill and endurance The results have been momentous Scientists have identified more than 20 species of extinct humans They have firmly established Africa as the birthplace not only of humankind but also of modern humans They have revealed how early technology language ability and artistic endeavour all originated in Africa and they have shown how small groups of Africans spread out from Africa in an exodus 60000 years ago to populate the rest of the world We have all inherited an African past2011 Martin Meredith P2011 Audible Inc.

This memoir takes you on Julie’s journey to Kalene Mission Hospital in Zambia, where she worked as a midwife for five months caring for African women and their babies at the most cherished time in their lives. It is a story of joy and heartbreak, of courage and perseverance, and of an extraordinary adventure. A spellbinding detective story that manages to fuse the craft of tension of the best suspense writers with the acumen and thoroughness of Richard Leakey, this gripping real-life mystery-adventure stars a brilliant fossil hunter on a quest to unlock the mysteries of human genesis. of color photos. It is a long time since I have been as enthusiastic about a book on human evolution as I am about Richard Klein\'s The Human Career.--Leslie Aiello, Times Higher Education Supplement[This book] will set a standard by which future books, setting out the course of human evolution, may measure their success.--Bobby Joe Williams, Quarterly Review of BiologyThe best introduction to the problems and data of modern palaeoanthropology yet published.--Penny Dransart, Antiquity While those who study human origns now agree that the evolution of the modern human form extends back much further in time than originally thought, they disagree sharply as to how to interpret the substantive data. The purpose of this volume is to examine those conceptual differences and to explore the reasons why a consensus might never be possible. One of the greatest scientific discoveries of the century, this is the story of Alan Walker\'s discovery of Nariokotome boy, arguably one of the most important human fossils ever found, and how it came to illuminate the difference between modern man and our nearest ancestors. of photos & 13 illustrations within the text. Ever since the recognition of the Neanderthals as an archaic human in the mid-nineteenth century, the fossilized bones of extinct humans have been used by paleoanthropologists to explore human origins. These bones told the story of how the earliest humans—bipedal apes, actually—first emerged in Africa some 6 to 7 million years ago. Starting about 2 million years ago, the bones revealed, as humans became anatomically and behaviorally more modern, they swept out of Africa in waves into Asia, Europe and finally the New World.Even as paleoanthropologists continued to make important discoveries—Mary Leakey’s Nutcracker Man in 1959, Don Johanson’s Lucy in 1974, and most recently Martin Pickford’s Millennium Man, to name just a few—experts in genetics were looking at the human species from a very different angle. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick first saw the double helix structure of DNA, the basic building block of all life. In the 1970s it was shown that humans share 98.7% of their genes with the great apes—that in fact genetically we are more closely related to chimpanzees than chimpanzees are to gorillas. And most recently the entire human genome has been mapped—we now know where each of the genes on the chromosomes that make up DNA is located on the double helix.In Human Origins: What Bones and Genomes Tell Us about Ourselves, two of the world’s foremost scientists, geneticist Rob DeSalle and paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall, show how research into the human genome confirms what fossil bones have told us about human origins. This unprecedented integration of the fossil and genomic records provides the most complete understanding possible of humanity’s place in nature, its emergence from the rest of the living world, and the evolutionary processes that have molded human populations to be what they are today.Human Origins serves as a companion volume to the American Museum of Natural History’s new permanent exhibit, as well as standing alone as an accessible overview of recent insights into what it means to be human.
