The humble handshake, it turns out, has a rich and surprising history.\n\nSo let's join palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi as she embarks on a funny and fascinating voyage of discovery - from the handshake's origins (at least seven million years ago) all the way to its sudden disappearance in March 2020. Drawing on new research, anthropological insights and first-hand experience, she'll reveal how this most friendly of gestures has played a role in everything from meetings with uncontacted tribes to political assassinations - and what it tells us about the enduring power of human contact.\n\nBecause the story of the handshake ... is far from over.","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220702548312,"sku":"9781788167819","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788167819.jpg?v=1776910520","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/handshake-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
