When We Became Humans: The Story of Our Evolution (Volume 2) (Incredible Evolution, 2) - Hardcover
Book 2 of 3: Incredible Evolution
Synopsis
What makes us human, and where did we come from? How did a clever ape climb down from the trees and change the world like no other animal has done before?
This large-format, highly illustrated book guides readers through the key aspects of the human story, from the anatomical changes that allowed us to walk upright and increased brain size in our ancestors, to the social, cultural, and economic developments of our more recent cousins and our own species. Along the way, focus spreads take a closer look at some of the key species in our history, from the ancient Australopithecus Afarensis, 'Lucy', to our recent cousins the Neanderthals and ourselves, Homo sapiens.
Looking beyond the anatomical evolution of humans, this book explores how our culture and way of living has evolved, from how trails of cowry shells reveal early trade between tribes, to how and why humans first domesticated dogs, horses, and farm animals, and began settling in permanent villages and cities. Through digestible information and absorbing illustration, young readers will be given an insight into their own origins, and what it really means to be a human.

About the Author
Michael Bright is a freelance author and scriptwriter who was previously an executive producer with the BBC Natural History Unit. He is the author of over 90 books on natural history, natural sciences, conservation and the environment, including many on sharks.
Hannah Bailey studied illustration at Brighton University in the United Kingdom, graduating in 2010. Her illustrations begin with pencil sketches that are traced and each tiny shape or segment hand-cut into a stencil. She then uses vibrant inks to fill the shapes with texture and colour, digitalises the elements and rearranges them into a final composition. Hannah is inspired by the natural world, growing things and history."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
