Description
This Czech-language book explores the timeless questions of who we are, where we come from and where we are going. Its principal subjects are human ancestors and the phenomenon of culture, through which members of the human genus have not only distinguished themselves from the natural world but also created a “second human nature” that influences the fate of all living beings on our planet. Intended for a wide readership seeking to navigate the increasingly complex interpretations of human evolution, the book first systematically introduces current knowledge from paleoanthropology, genetics and primatology. Václav Soukup then presents his own interpretation of the evolutionary story of the Homo genus and sets out his views on the origins of human culture and artistic creativity.
