We humans are the inheritors of a dynasty that has reigned over the planet for nearly 66 million years, through fiery cataclysm and ice ages: the mammals. Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, cave bears three times the weight of a grizzly, clever scurriers that outlasted Tyrannosaurus rex, and even other types of humans, like Neanderthals.

When Donald Johanson found a partial skeleton, approximately 3.5 million years old, in a remote region of Ethiopia in 1974, a headline-making controversy was launched that continues today. Bursting with all the suspense and intrigue of a fast-paced adventure novel, here is Johanson’s lively account of the extraordinary discovery of “Lucy.” By expounding the controversial change Lucy makes in our view of human origins, Johanson provides a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of the history of paleoanthropology and the colorful, eccentric characters who were, and are, a part of it.

Resumen del Editor
The complex story of human evolution is a tale seven million years in the making. Each new discovery adds to or revises our story and our understanding of how we came to be the way we are.
In this audiobook, The Human Odyssey, we explore the evolution of those characteristics that make us human. The first section looks at our family tree and why some branches survived and not others. Swings in climate are emerging as a factor in what traits succeeded and failed; meanwhile, DNA analyses show that Homo sapiens interbred with other human species, which played a key role in our survival.
Section two examines those traits that separate us from other primates. Recent data indicate that our hairless skin was important to the rise of other human features, and other research is getting closer to illuminating how humans became monogamous. In the final section we speculate on the future of human evolution in a world where advances in technology, medicine, and other areas protect us from harmful factors like disease, causing some scientists to claim that humans are no longer subject to natural selection and our evolution has ceased.
But, like us, our story will continue to evolve.

Historia
A Pocket History of Human Evolution brings us up-to-date on the exploits of all our ancient relatives. Paleoanthropologist Silvana Condemi and science journalist François Savatier consider what accelerated our evolution: Was it tools, our "large" brains, language, empathy, or something else entirely? And why are we the sole survivors among many early bipedal humans? Their conclusions reveal the various ways ancient humans live on today - from gossip as modern "grooming" to our gendered division of labor - and what the future might hold for our strange and unique species.

Imagine a world without bees, butterflies, and flowering plants. That was Earth 125 million years ago. Turn back the clock 400 million years, and there were no trees. At 450 million years in the past, even the earliest insects had not yet developed. And looking back 500 million years, the land was devoid of life, which at that time flourished in a profusion of strange forms in the oceans. These and other major turning points are the amazing story of evolution.

Historia
The Origin of Humankind is Richard Leakey's personal view of the development of Homo sapiens. At the heart of his new picture of evolution is the introduction of a heretical notion: Once the first apes walked upright, the evolution of modern humans became possible and perhaps inevitable. From this one evolutionary step comes all the other evolutionary refinements and distinctions that set the human race apart from the apes.

Australopithecines, dinosaurs, trilobites - such fossils conjure up images of lost worlds filled with vanished organisms. But in the full history of life, ancient animals, even the trilobites, form only the half-billion-year tip of a nearly four-billion-year iceberg. Andrew Knoll explores the deep history of life from its origins on a young planet to the incredible Cambrian explosion, presenting a compelling new explanation for the emergence of biological novelty.

In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthals has been transformed, thanks to new discoveries and paradigm-shattering scientific innovations. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behavior was surprisingly modern: they buried the dead, cared for the sick, hunted large animals in their prime, harvested seafood, and communicated with spoken language. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies are compelling us to reassess the Neanderthals' place in our own past.

In 1994 Professor Bryan Sykes, a leading world authority on DNA and human evolution, was called in to examine the frozen remains of a man trapped in glacial ice in northern Italy. News of both the Ice Man's discovery and his age, which was put at over 5,000 years, fascinated scientists and newspapers throughout the world. But what made Sykes's story particularly revelatory was his successful identification of a genetic descendant of the Ice Man, a woman living in Great Britain today. How was Sykes able to locate a living relative?

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day - and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History", the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.

Consciousness is more than mere awareness. It’s how we experience the world, how we turn input into experience. Once the province of philosophy, religion, or perhaps fantasy, neuroscientists have added a scientific voice to the discussion, using available medical technology to explore just what separates so-called “mind” from brain. In this audiobook, we look at what science has to say about one of humankind’s most fundamental, existential mysteries.

Everyone has heard of DNA. But by itself, DNA is just an inert blueprint for life. It is the ribosome - an enormous molecular machine made up of a million atoms - that makes DNA come to life, turning our genetic code into proteins and therefore into us. Gene Machine is an insider account of the race for the structure of the ribosome, a fundamental discovery that both advances our knowledge of all life and could lead to the development of better antibiotics against life-threatening diseases.

Great book on evolution
The reviewer that got bored and gave up should go back and listen to the last half of the book. I guess it did have a slow start, but it ended up being one of the best books on evolution out of the dozen or so I've listened to. There are many different authors, so some are going to be more interesting than others. There were so many interesting points about things all around us, such as: (without spoilers) what advantages does having curly hair give people that live in Africa? The answer makes you think about advantages for different types of hair then, for people in other areas of the world. We all started off black, so why did some people develop light-colored skin? How long does it take for skin, hair, and eyes to change color anyway? Why would something like malaria alter our genes, and why did the blood of people in different parts of the world evolve differently in reaction to malaria (this topic is more interesting than it sounds)? When did people start becoming lactose tolerant, and why? All these have good statistics in their answer. Also, if you like the study of chimpanzees and comparing them to us, you'll get plenty of that subject. Just how smart is a chimp compared to human babies? (This one makes you proud to be part of such a smart species). There's even interesting thoughts on the future of our race. I now have a better idea of the challenges we'll face when we live on Mars. Elon Musk is trying to get us there! If you have an archaeological spirit you'll appreciate this book.

Great selection of human evolution articles (2016)
This is a great selection of articles on human evolution. While they are written for the public, the science is up to date (as of 2016, since that's when this issue was published). It's rather like listening to a set of short lectures by different scientists (albeit all given in the same voice) on some of the current issues in paleoanthropology. Highly recommended for those who (like me) have exhausted most of Audible's works on paleoanthrpology and are looking for something new. If you're more of a beginner, I might suggest a few other titles first (e.g. The Rise of Humans by John Hawks). Kate Mulligan (narrator) does a nice job of reading the articles aloud and only makes a couple minor mispronunciations that aren't distracting or annoying. Her narration is easy to follow and at a good pace for following the information.

great material but
i suggest each chapter should have a different reader to better reflect the variety of authorship

Alexa, read me a book
The creepy, half-robotic narration has stripped one of the most compelling subjects in the world of all its excitement and wonder. There's great enunciation and the voice is quite pleasant, but it lacks any emotion whatsoever. It's like the aural version of the uncanny valley. It is especially creepy when the sentence is in first person, and we're expected to believe that AudibleAlexa is delivering an account of her totally-real-and-not-at-all-robotic human life. This book could be one of the most amazing books ever written but I'll never know because I can't make it through another paragraph of that eerie, soulless narration.

Tired of scientist dissing each other
Was hoping for an in-depth story with on how a newly discovered branch in our evolution was found and how it relates to the overall tree. Instead the author spends the first half of the book dissing.
Ugh

Meh...
Very boring and unengaging. I've listened to several books on the same subject, and this is the first one I've been unable to finish.

Interesting subject ruined by the narrator
Why can't these narrators do some research on proper pronunciation of scientific names before they take on these projects? It was beyond annoying to hear Australopithecus sediba pronounced wrong one minute then correctly the next. Actually, it was pronounced correctly only once. Are there no editors for these things? I finally gave up. Geeze Louise!
