Them and Us: How Neanderthal predation created modern humans - new book and theory of human origins
Now tribal reaction will go:
1) Oh! Look at the gaudy pictures of… ! This obviously is meant to…
2) This guy is not a Scientist.
3) I Haven’t Heard this before.
I’ve read the book. I was sceptical about a bit or two, but that didn’t stop it being the best thing in it’s field I’ve read in ten years.
Why?
Mostly because I hadn’t heard it before.
Also because it was a re-synthesis of existing data that is not new, and is largely plausible (except for those bits).
But - every theory of human evolution has those bits.
So.
