Myths About Human Evolution by Alexander Sokolov
Are you ready to separate fact from fiction in the story of our origins? Did Charles Darwin renounce his theory of evolution on his deathbed? Did ancient humans live alongside dinosaurs? Is Russia truly the cradle of humanity, and is the Yeti a lost ancestor wandering through the ages? While paleoanthropology is experiencing a golden age, the origin of humans remains shrouded in myths—from anti-evolutionist theories to legends born from pop culture and pseudo-scientific ideas held even by educated readers.
Alexander Sokolov, editor-in-chief of the portal Anthropogenesis.ru, has gathered a collection of 65 of the most widespread myths about human evolution and tests them with clarity and conviction. Each chapter is illustrated with unique images and photographs of reconstructions, making the science both accessible and engaging.
This book is for anyone curious about who our ancestors really were, where the Neanderthals went, how scientists determine the age of ancient bones, whether Darwin believed in God, and why humanity is divided into races. Discover what actually happened—and leave the myths behind.
