Story
In Kindred, Neanderthal expert Becky Wragg Sykes shoves aside the cliché of the shivering ragged figure in an icy wasteland and reveals the Neanderthal you don’t know, who lived across vast and diverse tracts of Eurasia and survived through hundreds of thousands of years of massive climate change. Using a thematic rather than chronological approach, this book will shed new light on where they lived, what they ate and the increasingly complex Neanderthal culture that is being discovered.

In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthals has been transformed, thanks to new discoveries and paradigm-shattering scientific innovations. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behavior was surprisingly modern: they buried the dead, cared for the sick, hunted large animals in their prime, harvested seafood, and communicated with spoken language. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies are compelling us to reassess the Neanderthals' place in our own past.

Story
Since the late 1980s the dominant theory of human origins has been that a "cognitive revolution" (c. 50,000 years ago) led to the advent of our species, Homo sapiens. As a result of this revolution our species spread and eventually replaced all existing archaic Homo species, ultimately leading to the superiority of modern humans. Or so we thought. As Clive Finlayson explains, the latest advances in genetics prove that there was significant interbreeding between modern humans and the Neanderthals.

Humans are the only mammals to walk on two, rather than four, legs. From an evolutionary perspective, this is an illogical development, as it slows us down. But here we are, suggesting there must have been something tremendous to gain from bipedalism. First Steps takes our ordinary, everyday walking experience and reveals how unusual and extraordinary it truly is. The seven-million-year-long journey through the origins of upright walking shows how it was in fact a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human.

A Pocket History of Human Evolution brings us up-to-date on the exploits of all our ancient relatives. Paleoanthropologist Silvana Condemi and science journalist François Savatier consider what accelerated our evolution: Was it tools, our "large" brains, language, empathy, or something else entirely? And why are we the sole survivors among many early bipedal humans? Their conclusions reveal the various ways ancient humans live on today - from gossip as modern "grooming" to our gendered division of labor - and what the future might hold for our strange and unique species.

Dawkins does it again

Summary
A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger's own take on finding Homo naledi, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century.
In 2013, Lee Berger, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, heard of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around the world for petite collaborators - men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through eight-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave forty feet underground. With this team, Berger made the discovery of a lifetime: hundreds of prehistoric bones, including entire skeletons of at least 15 individuals, all perhaps two million years old. Their features combined those of known prehominids like Lucy, the famous Australopithecus, with those more human than anything ever before seen in prehistoric remains. Berger's team had discovered an all new species, and they called it Homo naledi.
The cave quickly proved to be the richest prehominid site ever discovered, full of implications that shake the very foundation of how we define what makes us human. Did this species come before, during, or after the emergence of Homo sapiens on our evolutionary tree? How did the cave come to contain nothing but the remains of these individuals? Did they bury their dead? If so, they must have had a level of self-knowledge, including an awareness of death. And yet those are the very characteristics used to define what makes us human. Did an equally advanced species inhabit Earth with us, or before us? Berger does not hesitate to address all these questions.
Some colleagues question Berger's interpretation of this and other finds. Here, this charismatic and visionary paleontologist counters their arguments and tells his personal story: a rich narrative about science, exploration, and what it means to be human.

Good for the most part
It is a decent book with an interesting story, a tad on the self-serving side in terms of the author but this is fine and I enjoyed the tale. I’m not sure the reader was right for this book, but the main annoying bit was that he mispronounced key scientific jargon and location names, which is rather important given the type of book that this is. All in all still enjoyed it.

great book but poor pronunciation
it's a great book with wonderful information and as an archaeology student the story is fascinating but unfortunately the narrator is very American and didn't bother to learn the pronunciation of the South African words which definitely detracted from the whole experience. for example he says Wits but it is actually pronounced Vits. Otherwise good.

Very interesting
Lee Berger describes in great detail the methods by which he discovered and explored a cave in South Africa full of bones of a previously unknown hominid. If anthropology interests you, it is a good story and raises important questions about scientific method before we even get on to the questions about the bones themselves. For instance, in 2019 does it not seem appropriate to publish computer generated images of/information about the bones among scientists worldwide? Previously it seems scientists would sometimes jealously guard bones to themselves for decades without letting anybody else even look at them.This surely cannot be the most effective way of developing ideas. Berger remarks that many of the new generation of anthropologists are female. I wonder if this might change typical methods of research.
As for the question of human evolution, no doubt there is much debate about the place of this creature and I am not in a position to comment. However, what with finding the Neanderthal DNA, discovering the Denisovans and now the Naledi, it seems we may be learning a lot more about the family tree of homo sapiens.

Wonderful recollection of a seminal event
This is far more than a diary of Sediba and Rising Star. Berger and Hawks walk through their struggles in the change in paradigm from Isaac Newton and Rosalind Franklin- style working in secret (justified in the case of the latter, given the constraints) to the open and collaborative approach which appeared to have grated the community before slowly turning them around. There are some nice character developments as we move into Dinaledi - by the end you feel like you know his son Matthew, the team of scientists and even the cavers. And just as you ask yourself questions, they are seemingly quickly addressed.
This has been one of my most enjoyable listens on Audible so far. Highly recommended!

A deep story on the rocky trail to human origins
As a former student of anthropology, archaeology and human evolution I found this story to be gripping. The author's path to human origins research began with childhood experiences that were similar to my own in many ways, though my own research area is very different. The story is well told and well read. We are introduced to the history of human fossil research, different kinds of human, and the scientific process... including the ways that results are debated, interpreted and disseminated.
The author's lifelong study of other kinds of human may actually parallel his suggestion that our ancestors also learned from other kinds human - as well as mixing with them (going to bed with them, so to speak).
As a scientist, I'm inspired by this book to think about how I might present my own work to wider audiences. But the book is not just for scientists, it is for all of us who are curious about those fingers typing on the keyboard in front of us.

Worth even for those acquainted with the story
The text is good, it reads like a suspenseful thriller. The science is well researched and presented in a clear and simple (but not simplistic) manner. I got annoyed sometimes by the intonation of the reader, especially when he was presenting dialog lines, but overall the reading was clear and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the story itself - though I have already seen the documentaries based on this work, the book adds so much context and background that I feel it was really worth it.

More of a memoir
It’s fine but I was hoping to learn more about ancestral humans. It’s more of a memoir of the life of someone who did research on ancestral humans. The science part is definitely secondary to that and wasn’t much new to me, having done some minimal learning in the area already

Self indulgent. Badly written. Little science.
Too self indulgent. The author wanted to write a book to document his acheivembt and "adventures" rather than than explaining the science. Really boring and not engaging. It is also badly written. It is also badly written; too many adverds, adjectives and tacky anecdotes. How many times he used the expressions "amazing ", and ".. a new specoes never discovered before".
If you want ti read a book on human evolution i would suggest "Lucy". Although a bit dated by now, the differnce between the two books is night and day.
