Product Information
When did the first humans arrive in Britain? Where did they come from? And what did they look like? This is the amazing story of human life in Britain. It begins nearly one million years ago, during the earliest known human occupation, and reveals how humans have periodically lived there ever since. Britain: One Million Years of the Human Story takes readers on an incredible journey through ancient Britain. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from archaeological sites, it reveals which human species lived in Britain during multiple waves of occupation. It describes who they were, what their habitats were like, which animals shared their landscape, and what they did to survive, from the first use of fire to specialised hunting. It shows how Britain's human occupants changed, adapting and often succumbing to dramatically changing climate and landscapes. The story is told by Rob Dinnis and Chris Stringer, two scientists at the forefront of research into our ancient ancestors. Together they describe the discoveries, the key fossil specimens and the science behind these remarkable findings.Written in a lively and engaging style, and fully illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs, Britain: One Million Years of the Human Story is an invaluable guide to our early human relatives. The book is based on the ground-breaking work of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project and is published to tie in with a major new exhibition opening at the Natural History Museum in February 2014.Product Identifiers

Makes you often 'stop and think', a really great read!
Brilliant book, well written and really eightening without any of the hard to understand scientific data. We think we stand alone as a person, family unit, race, country or by our colour. This book really brings home how connected we all are and how unbelievably fortunate we are to be here. Over thousands of years our ancestors, struggled on during long and brutal climactic changes to keep coming back to what we know as Britian. A really great insight to very early human inhabitation of Britain, I thought the Red Lady of Paviland was old (it is) but in terms of habitation time line he is quite young on the time line. This is one book I will be only lending to people as it is not only a great reference but a great read It's remarkable we know so much about our origins.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
