Science and Nature
Why did only modern humans (homo sapiens) survive? The ancestors of chimpanzees and humans diverged 700 years ago. Since then, there have been more than 20 species other than Homo sapiens, including Australopithecus, Neanderthals, and the Javanese. However, all other species have become extinct and only Homo sapiens survived. In this book, we explain through human fossils the history of mankind, in which research has progressed explosively over the past 30 years through the discovery of fossils and tools. This is the best introduction to the history of human evolution over 700 million years, including why only Homo sapiens survived and what kind of evolutionary history we have followed.
