9788847011977: I lettori di ossa (I blu)

Synopsis

"I lettori di ossa" racconta lo scontro tra scienza e politica nel dibattito sulla preistoria australiana e di altri Paesi dove la presenza dei popoli indigeni rende profondamente politica l interpretazione del passato. Gli scienziati stanno ricostruendo la preistoria con l uso di tecnologie sempre pi avanzate mentre i popoli indigeni ne rivendicano la propriet esclusiva. Questo rende sempre pi difficile lo studio delle ossa e dei reperti che gli aborigeni attribuiscono ai loro antenati ancestrali. Simultaneamente, altri studiosi, in genere di estrazione umanistica, sfidano la supremazia del metodo scientifica per ricostruire il passato. La situazione complicata dalla rivalit tra gruppi di ricerca, universit e musei coinvolti in programmi sull evoluzione umana, finanziati in modo precario. "I lettori di ossa" presenta la scienza alla base delle nuove ricerche sull evoluzione umana, ma anche i protagonisti e la politica.

From the Back Cover

Chi possiede il passato? Come si leggono le ossa antiche? E cosa ci dicono sulle nostre origini gli artifatti, il polline e il DNA dell’età glaciale?

Usando tecniche sempre più raffinate, gli scienziati riescono a ricostruire gli ambienti del passato profondo e i primi esseri umani che ci vivevano. I lettori di ossa esamina i fatti e i miti sull’arrivo dei primi uomini in Australia; il DNA degli attuali Aborigeni australiani rivela le loro origini; le teorie degli hobbit indonesiani; e chi o cosa ha ucciso i marsupiali giganti dell’Australia. Le scoperte australiane trovano eco nei dibattiti sulla misteriosa fine dei Neanderthal e gettano luce sull’evoluzione umana.

Ma, come sempre, gli scienziati sono divisi. I lettori di ossa mette in evidenza un mondo di coloriti personaggi e un dibattito appassionato – e alcune idee veramente bizzarre.

Questo libro chiarisce le idee a chi è incuriosito da affermazioni e contro-affermazioni su chi ha fatto cosa, quando a e a chi nel profondo passato della preistoria e spiega in modo lineare la scienza su cui si basano le recenti metodologie investigative. Senza timore di essere controverso, I lettori di ossa è destinato a riscaldare il dibattito sul passato dell’umanità.
