<p><b>Humans are the dominant species on the planet. But how did we get here? <i>Human Origins</i> takes the reader on a fascinating 7-million-year journey from our earliest primordial ape-like roots through to the present day.</b><br><br>For almost a hundred years, scientists have been trying to decipher the <b>secrets of humanity’s evolution</b>. At first, they relied on rare pieces of ancient skulls and bone fragments. But every year, they make new discoveries, uncover new fossils and <b>develop new techniques</b> to tease apart the story of our evolution. <br><br>So far, from skeletons to teeth, humanity has found <b>more than 6,000 hominin individuals</b>. These individuals span several species, all of which tell the<b> tale of human evolution</b>: how our brains changed over time, what we ate, how we lived. Including the <b>latest scientific findings</b>, <i>Human Origins </i>will also look at some of the biggest questions that remain: What makes humans unique? Where did the Neanderthals go? And are humans still evolving?</p>
