The Last Human: A Guide to Twenty-Two Species of Extinct Humans by G. J. Sawyer, Esteban Sarmiento
3.0
Fascinating reference to extinct homicide
This fabulously illustrated guide to 22 extinct precursors of man is full of detail but lacks a narrative explanation. Neanderthal man is particularly well described with information on brain size and speech that suggests that this species was not far removed from us. Most importantly for a science guide, it also accepts that the evidence is not always complete and more research will deepen our understanding.
