Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal

3.91 (1,761 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Juan Jose Millas Juan Luis Arsuaga

Translated by: Daniel Hahn, Thomas Bunstead

A New Scientist Book of the Year

Prehistory is all around us. We just need to know where to look.

Juan José Millás has always felt like he doesnt quite fit into human society. Sometimes he wonders if he is even a Homo sapiens at all. Perhaps he is a Neanderthal who somehow survived? So he turns to Juan Luis Arsuaga, one of the worlds leading palaeontologists and a super-smart sapiens, to explain why we are the way we are and where we come from.

Over the course of many months the two visit different places, many of them common scenes of our daily lives, and others unique archaeological sites. Arsuaga tries to teach the Neanderthal how to think like a sapiens and, above all, that prehistory is not a thing of the past: that traces of humanity through the millennia can be found anywhere, from a cave or a landscape to a childrens playground or a toy shop.

Millás and Arsuaga invite you on a journey of wonder that unites scientific discovery with the greatest human invention of all: the art of storytelling.
