Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Chris Stringer's bestselling The Origin of our Species tackles the big questions in the ongoing debate about the beginnings of human life on earth. Do all humans originate from Africa? How did we spread across the globe? Are we separate from Neanderthals, or do some of us actually have their genes? When did humans become 'modern' - are traits such as art, technology, language, ritual and belief unique to us? Has human evolution stopped, or are we still evolving? Chris Stringer has been involved in much of the crucial research into the origins of humanity, and here he draws on a wealth of evidence - from fossils and archaeology to Charles Darwin's theories and the mysteries of ancient DNA - to reveal the definitive story of where we came from, how we lived, how we got here and who we are.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Chris Stringer's Homo Britannicus is the epic history of life in Britain, from man's very first footsteps through to the present day. When did the first people arrive here? What did they look like? How did they survive? Who were the Neanderthals? Chris Stringer takes us back to when it was so tropical we lived here alongside hippos, elephants and sabre-toothed tigers or to times so cold we hunted reindeer and mammoth, and to others even colder when we were forced to flee a wall of ice. Here is the incredible truth about our ancestors' journey over millennia - and a glimpse of the future to see how it might continue.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ever since the first discovery of their bones, the Neanderthals have provoked controversy. Who were they? How were they related to modern people? What caused their disappearance 35,000 years ago? The Neanderthals have become the archetype of all that is primitive. But what is their true story? Today Neanderthal specialists are locked in one of the fiercest debates in modern science. One side, the "multiregional" school, argues that the Neanderthals and their contemporaries evolved semi-independently into modern humans. Christopher Stringer leads the "out of Africa" school, which believes that the Neanderthals were replaced by modern people from Africa. Here he sets out his views for the first time, with the archaeologist Clive Gamble. Step by step the authors put forward their case. The Neanderthals had an anatomy crucially different from our own, adapted to Ice Age Europe. Neanderthal behaviour similarly points to fundamental differences. New genetic evidence strongly suggests a single origin for modern humans in Africa. The authors argue that, capable and intelligent as the Neanderthals were, they proved no match for the better-organized, better-equipped newcomers, and died out.

Nieuw Amsterdam 2012 Softcover, 382pp., 15x23cm., in goede staat (frontcover met lichte vouw, verder zeer goed). ISBN 9789046811306. In dit baanbrekende boek tracht Chris Stringer antwoord te geven op de grote vragen in het debat over onze oorsprong. Hebben modernemensen en neanderthalers elkaar ooit ontmoet en stroomt ermisschien zelfs neanderthalerbloed door onze aderen? Waren onze voorouders vervaarlijke kannibalen of bewerkten ze de overblijfselen van hun doden uit eerbetoon? Waren grotschilderingen en gestileerde voorwerpen puur functioneel of waren de makers ervan de eerste kunstliefhebbers? Was de oermens in Afrika alomtegenwoordig of leefde hij slechts in de marges van het landschap? Getuigen de overblijfselen van een achtjarig gehandicapt oerkind van sociale zorg en liefde bij neanderthalers? Stringer leidt de lezer door de felle debatten over de oorsprong van de mensheid en wat het betekent om mens te zijn. Hij kijkt naar de factoren die kunnen hebben geleid tot de evolutie van demoderne mens, en die wellicht ten grondslag liggen aan het verdwijnen van soorten, zoals de neanderthaler.
