Description
This ground breaking book reveals how Europeans survived the ordeal of the last Ice Age. 90,000 years of alternating arctic and temperate climate swinging violently from one extreme to another roughly every 5,000 years. Ice caps spread over the continent, trees and shrubs died, animals died meanwhile the great ice age predators competed with Europeans for shelter and food. Never before had humans been confronted with such extremes. Only by being incredibly resourceful and organised did the Europeans survive. New inventions followed one after another, religion, language, clothing, complex tools. Never before had humans been so creative, nor had they needed to be. the conditions of Ice Age Europe turbo-charged evolution. This book explains how Europeans evolved fast. They first arrived in Europe 1.8 million years ago, but not that much changed until the Ice Age, then change came and it came very fast indeed. this is a fascinating and ground breaking journey from human's last common ancestor with the chimpanzee to Europeans who we can recognise today.
