    An Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective

    • 268pages
    • 10 heures de lecture
    4,5(2)Évaluer

    The book presents compelling evidence that climate change, rather than competition with early humans, was the primary factor behind the extinction of Neanderthals. It explores how environmental shifts affected their survival, offering a fresh perspective on their demise and challenging traditional narratives about human-Neanderthal interactions. Through a detailed analysis, the author highlights the vulnerability of Neanderthals to changing climates, reshaping our understanding of their history and the impact of environmental factors on species survival.

  • Gorilla Biology

    • 528pages
    • 19 heures de lecture

    Gorillas, one of our closest living relatives, are the largest living primates, and teeter on the brink of extinction. This study offers the first comparative perspective on gorilla populations throughout their natural range, and covers all known subspecies. Discussing phylogeny, evolution, functional morphology, behavioral ecology and conservation biology, this multidisciplinary work will be essential reading for primatologists, anthropologists, animal behaviorists and evolutionary biologists.

  • Evolving Human Nutrition

    4,0(1)Évaluer

    Exploring what it is to be human through a dietary lens, this book examines human nutrition, how it has evolved and how it influences health and disease past and present. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be and how this has been affected by social transformations.

    Focusing on the extinction of the Neanderthals, this work presents a compelling argument that their demise was primarily due to their inability to adapt to rapid ecological changes rather than competition with modern humans. Clive Finlayson challenges traditional narratives surrounding their extinction, offering new insights into the environmental factors that played a crucial role during the Pleistocene period. This perspective reshapes our understanding of Neanderthal survival and their interactions with the changing world around them.
