Description
Africa's unique blend of geological history, climate, geography, and biology has given rise to an astonishing diversity of life. This remarkable continent is also the cradle of human evolution, with our species emerging in response to the complex challenges posed by its varied landscapes.
Jonathan Kingdon brings his own personal connection to Africa to this deeply personal portrait of the continent, drawing on his animal senses to explore its intricate ecosystems and the pressures that have shaped the evolution of its incredible array of species.
