They Were Here Before Us by Ran Barkai
An epic and highly readableinvestigation into our very earliest ancestors, focusing on the land corridor thorough which humans passed from Africa to Europe and the evidence left behind of their lives and deaths, struggles and beliefs.
"Excellent and highly readable. . the unwavering ability of prehistoric people to survive and thrive can (and indeed must) continue into the present, because given the perilous times in which we live, we just might have to do it all again."
