Fifty thousand years ago, we were not the only species of human in the world. There were at least four others, including the Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis, Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham. In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us, told for the first time with its full cast of characters.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So pleased I downloaded this book, it is fascinating, really worth a read. This book is packed full of information about the prehistory of the human race and all the different forms of hominids that were originally around and how far back they are now known to have lived.

Fantastic Book

The intriguing story of who we, are and where we came from, continues. With every new advance in technology, we further unravel the mystery of our origins. The inherent chronology and unexpected twists and turns make for an absolutely entertaining and very informative discourse.

Informative and well narrated

Great survey of modern understanding of the different species of humans among our ancient ancestors. Fair amount of focus on the techniques used to interpret evidence, and also attention paid to the story of the scientific process leading to where we are now.

Overall if you've ever thought this topic is interesting and wanted to explore a little deeper I'd definitely recommend this book.

I appreciated that the author makes it clear when he is stating a belief that is not established by scientific consensus. This book does not appear to have any agenda besides education (and at times boasting about his part in scientific achievements that he is especially proud of).

Fascinating topic well covered.
