Rebecca Wragg Sykes
Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals.
Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.
In Kindred, Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside clichés of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. They ranged across vast tracts of tundra and steppe, but also stalked in dappled forests and waded in the Mediterranean Sea. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval.
At a time when our species has never faced greater threats, we're obsessed with what makes us special. But, much of what defines us was also in Neanderthals and their DNA is still inside us. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality.
Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us, revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our ancient, shared inheritance. It is only by understanding them, that we can truly understand ourselves.

Her soothing voice sets the mood and her words paint a beautiful picture and carry the story in a tone of wonderment.
As a lover of history, I deeply appreciated her meticulously detailed descriptions. As a lover of Art, I fell in love with the wording she uses to activate the imagination.
I highly recommend this audiobook and I will most definitely be purchasing a hard copy.
Powerful, Enlightening, as well as Educational.

My only complaint is that the audio is a bit compressed which is noticeable when trying to run the book at 2x or 3x speed. Still a great listen, I just had to do it a little slower than I normally would.
