Almost like Us:Peoples of the Stone Age

Did any of the earliest humans have emotions and feelings like us? Is there something from long-ago that makes us so attracted to sugar? Why is it that up to 4% of our DNA is from the species of Neanderthals? Do humans have an innate urge for pair bonding? In the book, Almost Like Us: Peoples of the Stone Age answers to provocative questions about the Stone Age get a fresh look. Almost Like Us describes the fascinating lives of early humans and how the distant past underpins our current behavior. Sifting through layers in the fossil records, the book exposes the dawning of a humankind that faced and overcame difficult circumstances with a determination not so different from our own. This humanistic view of Stone Age peoples shines a revelatory light on some of our present-day conduct that has its roots in prehistory. Written in an accessible narrative and without technical jargon, Almost Like Us is a stimulating and immensely enjoyable book that is not only filled with basic facts from conventional authorities, but also a kaleidoscope of outlooks not usually covered in standard textbooks. With the freedom of a dedicated enthusiast, author Ivy Hendy presents hypotheses and theories about which researchers have less room to speculate. Throughout the book the humanity and struggles of peoples of the Stone Age are explored along with times of unexpected humorous circumstances. Almost Like Us: Peoples of the Stone Age is the grand story of humankind at the edge of history. For a short video, go to: https://youtu.be/YerK-6oGbas
