Hace más de tres millones y medio de años, unos pies dejaron su huella en la ceniza volcánica de Laetoli, en Tanzania. Esa huella es el punto de partida de este viaje hasta el origen de nuestra especie. Las cenizas de Laetoli es el primer volumen de Historia de la antropologÃa humana, una serie de referencia sobre la evolución humana. Este volumen -OrÃgenes biológicos y culturales de la especie humana- recorre los orÃgenes biológicos de la especie: de la sabana africana al cerebro humano, del primer bipedismo a los últimos homininos que compartieron el planeta con nosotros. Con rigor académico y una prosa pensada para el lector culto no especialista, el libro integra paleoantropologÃa, genética de poblaciones, primatologÃa comparada y anatomÃa evolutiva en un relato único, distinguiendo siempre entre consenso cientÃfico sólido, hipótesis aceptadas y debates todavÃa abiertos. En este volumen encontrarás: - Los fundamentos de la antropologÃa biológica: genética humana, selección natural, adaptación y variabilidad de nuestra especie.
- La evolución de los primates y los grandes simios -gibones, orangutanes, gorilas, chimpancés y bonobos- y su parentesco con nosotros.
- El origen de los homininos: Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus y Paranthropus.
- El origen y la radiación del género Homo: H. habilis, H. rudolfensis, H. erectus, H. ergaster, H. heidelbergensis, H. antecessor, H. naledi, H. floresiensis, H. luzonensis, denisovanos y neandertales.
- La evolución del bipedismo, la mano, la dentición y el cerebro, y las bases biológicas de la cognición, la infancia, la sexualidad y la cooperación humanas. Cada capÃtulo se cierra con una cronologÃa, tablas comparativas, un glosario especializado y una lámina ilustrada a página completa, con mapas y gráficos originales en una cuidada edición a color. El volumen incluye además una galerÃa final de 21 láminas, especie a especie, desde Sahelanthropus tchadensis hasta Homo sapiens. Una obra exhaustiva y actualizada para entender, con la mejor evidencia cientÃfica disponible, cómo llegamos a ser humanos antes de que existiera la cultura tal como la conocemos. El Volumen II - El gran viaje continúa el relato con la evolución cultural, el lenguaje y la expansión de Homo sapiens por todo el planeta.
