The Invaders: How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction

English

By (author): Pat Shipman

A Times Higher Education Book of the Week

Approximately 200,000 years ago, as modern humans began to radiate out from their evolutionary birthplace in Africa, Neanderthals were already thriving in Europedescendants of a much earlier migration of the African genus Homo. But when modern humans eventually made their way to Europe 45,000 years ago, Neanderthals suddenly vanished. Ever since the first Neanderthal bones were identified in 1856, scientists have been vexed by the question, why did modern humans survive while their closest known relatives went extinct?

Shipman admits that scientists have yet to find genetic evidence that would prove her theory. Time will tell if shes right. For now, read this book for an engagingly comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving understanding of our own origins.
Toby Lester, Wall Street Journal

Are humans the ultimate invasive species? So contends anthropologist Pat Shipmanand Neanderthals, she opines, were among our first victims. The relationship between Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis is laid out cleanly, along with genetic and other evidence. Shipman posits provocatively that the deciding factor in the triumph of our ancestors was the domestication of wolves.
Daniel Cressey, Nature
