Lucy, the Antecessor girl, is growing up. Her adoptive mother, Isabel Vega, and her godmother, Azahara, must fight to keep her safe in a ruthless world. Trapped in an eternal contradiction, the three women are unaware that a multinational corporation called GENX is determined to obtain a sample of Lucy at any cost to begin a genomic investigation banned by the United Nations. Once again, greed and the false belief that technological advancement will lead the human race to a better future will devastate the lives of many people who cannot even imagine what they are facing. J.P. Johnson lives on the island of Mallorca. A former bodyguard for military authorities and a stockbroker, he is now exclusively dedicated to writing. He is the author of the famous sagas "The Fifth Origin," "The Revenge of the Earth," and "The Devil on the Island" (published under his real name, Joan Pont), as well as the self-help series "Yes, I Want.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
A new and thrilling work from the best writer of scientific thrillers, J.P. Johnson. Science communicator Isabel Vega is overcoming the death of her daughter Lucy. One day, a woman named Daya contacts her. Daya works for ADNTRO, a biotech company that is making waves globally with a revolutionary COVID diagnosis method, and she proposes a wild project that Isabel, still fragile, ultimately accepts. However, gradually, the sinister ramifications of ADNTRO's project are unveiled. Isabel, who has already involved her sister Azahara, realizes that the biotech is trying to create a race of inferior humans by cloning DNA from a million-year-old fossil found in the Gran Dolina of Atapuerca. If successful, humanity will cross an ethical boundary that can never be restored. She no longer wants to be part of it, but she is trapped. From the Atapuerca site in Burgos to the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan, events unfold at a frantic pace that will lead Isabel Vega to fight with all her might to prevent the creation of a new race of slaves. J.P. Johnson lives on the island of Mallorca. Former bodyguard to military officials and stockbroker, he now dedicates himself exclusively to literature.

The Chosen Species
Author: Juan Luis Arsuaga
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1405115327
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Is modern man the logical conclusion of a long evolutionary journey? Or are humans merely an evolutionary accident? The Chosen Species answers these and many other questions about our origins. Authors Juan Luis Arsuaga and Ignacio Martínez are world-renowned paleoanthropologists and co-directors of the excavations at Atapuerca---a World Heritage Site and Europe’s oldest known burial site---where their team discovered a new human species, homo antecessor. Their work has changed the way we see human evolution. Here, the authors draw on their rich experience to provide a fascinating account of our origins. They reconstruct the sequence of events, give an account of how, when, and why man evolved, and draw conclusions based on verifiable facts and well-founded argument. The Chosen Species combines scientific rigor with a spellbinding style that will grip readers as they follow the tale to its end.

The Strange Case of the Rickety Cossack
Author: Ian Tattersall
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1466879432
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In his new book The Strange Case of the Rickety Cossack, human paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall argues that a long tradition of "human exceptionalism" in paleoanthropology has distorted the picture of human evolution. Drawing partly on his own career—from young scientist in awe of his elders to crotchety elder statesman—Tattersall offers an idiosyncratic look at the competitive world of paleoanthropology, beginning with Charles Darwin 150 years ago, and continuing through the Leakey dynasty in Africa, and concluding with the latest astonishing findings in the Caucasus. The book's title refers to the 1856 discovery of a clearly very old skull cap in Germany's Neander Valley. The possessor had a brain as large as a modern human, but a heavy low braincase with a prominent brow ridge. Scientists tried hard to explain away the inconvenient possibility that this was not actually our direct relative. One extreme interpretation suggested that the preserved leg bones were curved by both rickets, and by a life on horseback. The pain of the unfortunate individual's affliction had caused him to chronically furrow his brow in agony, leading to the excessive development of bone above the eye sockets. The subsequent history of human evolutionary studies is full of similarly fanciful interpretations. With tact and humor, Tattersall concludes that we are not the perfected products of natural processes, but instead the result of substantial doses of random happenstance.

Growing Up in the Ice Age
Author: April Nowell
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1789252970
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
It is estimated that in prehistoric societies children comprised at least forty to sixty-five percent of the population, yet by default, our ancestral landscapes are peopled by adults who hunt, gather, fish, knap tools and make art. But these adults were also parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles (however they would have codified these kin relationships) who had to make space physically, emotionally, intellectually, and cognitively for the infants, children and adolescents around them. The economic, social, and political roles of Paleolithic children are often understudied because they are assumed to be unknowable or negligible. Drawing on the most recent data from the cognitive sciences and from the ethnographic, fossil, archaeological, and primate records, Growing Up in the Ice Age challenges these assumptions. This volume is a timely and evidence-based look at the lived lives of Paleolithic children and the communities of which they were a part. By rendering the “invisible” children visible, readers will gain a new understanding not only of the contributions that children have made to the biological and cultural entities we are today but also of the Paleolithic period as whole.

The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Ritual and Religion
Author: Timothy Insoll
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191617385
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1135
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Ritual and Religion provides a comprehensive overview by period and region of the relevant archaeological material in relation to theory, methodology, definition, and practice. Although, as the title indicates, the focus is upon archaeological investigations of ritual and religion, by necessity ideas and evidence from other disciplines are also included, among them anthropology, ethnography, religious studies, and history. The Handbook covers a global span - Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and the Americas - and reaches from the earliest prehistory (the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic) to modern times. In addition, chapters focus upon relevant themes, ranging from landscape to death, from taboo to water, from gender to rites of passage, from ritual to fasting and feasting. Written by over sixty specialists, renowned in their respective fields, the Handbook presents the very best in current scholarship, and will serve both as a comprehensive introduction to its subject and as a stimulus to further research.
