Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
Human evolution is such a fast moving and exciting subject, with new finds changing our ideas and understanding of our ancestors. As Wendy and Michael couldn’t find a book on human evolution suitable for their grandchildren, they decided they would write a book themselves – one that is up-to-date and interesting for all ages.
The Story of Us: Becoming Human tells how we evolved together. It shows that we are all part of the same human family and that the differences between us are very small. This is a fitting message in today’s global society. It is one of the main reasons that Michael and Wendy wrote this book.
