Neanderthals are at the center of this compelling narrative by Europe's leading anthropologist, not because they were our ancestors but because they were not. Members of a parallel humanity that evolved in Europe for hundreds of thousands of years, they were in direct competition with Cro-Magnons -- modern humans. The way Neanderthals lived and the reasons why they disappeared 50,000 years ago offer a surprising mirror in which we can examine and learn more about ourselves. Illustrated, concise and readable, this is a fascinating exploration of human origins. Lively, personal, refreshing, and instructive, this book should be read by anyone interested in their own origins and our extinct relatives. -- Ian Tattersall, author of The Fossil Trail, The Last Neanderthal, and Becoming Human
