Description
Revealing the fascinating story of our ancient cousins, Kindred sheds light on the lives of Neanderthals, long misunderstood as brutish and uncivilised. With her expertise in Palaeolithic research, Rebecca Wragg Sykes presents a nuanced and authoritative account of these successful survivors, who thrived for over 300,000 years despite the challenges of a rapidly changing climate.
From their technological innovations to their ecological adaptations, Kindred explores the complex and intriguing world of the Neanderthals. By examining their DNA and behaviour, the book reveals a deeper understanding of what defines us as humans, and how our shared inheritance with our ancient ancestors can provide new insights into our own lives.
