The book summarizes the work of several decades, culminating in a revolutionary model of recent human evolution. It challenges current consensus views fundamentally, presenting in its support a mass of evidence, much of which has never been assembled before. This evidence derives primarily from archaeology, paleoanthropology, genetics, clinical psychology, neurosciences, linguistics andcognitive sciences. No even remotely similar thesis of recent human origins has ever been published, but some of the key elements of this book have been published by the author in major refereed journals in the last two years. Its implications, if published effectively, would be far-reaching, and would profoundly affect the way we perceive ourselves as a species. This book about what itmeans to be human is heavily referenced, with a bibliography of many hundredsof scientific entries.
