Jeremy DeSilva – First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human
We take it for granted, but humans are the only mammals that walk on two legs instead of four. We eagerly await our children’s first steps, yet rarely consider how our ancient ancestors made that same journey. In First Steps, paleoanthropologist Jeremy DeSilva explores the extraordinary nature of this seemingly ordinary ability. His seven‑million‑year journey to the origins of our lineage reveals how upright walking ignited the traits that make us human: the capacity to create technology, the drive to explore, the development of speech—and perhaps even the foundations of compassion, cooperation, and altruism.
This book is for biologists, anthropologists, paleoanthropologists, medical and biology students, and anyone fascinated by evolutionary biology, sports, medicine, or a healthy lifestyle.
