Zusammenfassung
In The Improbable Primate, Clive Finlayson gives a provocative view of human evolution, arguing that the critical factor that shaped us was water. Questioning current accounts of tools and our spread from Africa, he presents an ecological viewpoint. Finlayson writes in a dry, clear, scholarly style which somehow accentuates the sheer improbability of humanity's long journey
