The Evolution of Man Vol. 1. Apes, Bones, and Genes

In his new book "The Evolution of Man," Alexander Markov touches on a wide range of topics - from the periodization of the settlement of the first humans to the genetic foundations of political
and religious beliefs. The author raises numerous... questions and seeks answers to them together with the reader, drawing on extensive material from recent research in anthropology, genetics, and evolutionary psychology. Who are we? How are we different from our planetary neighbors, including our closest relatives, the great apes? And how can we best utilize our main distinction and asset - our large, complex brain? One way is to thoughtfully read this book. Alexander Markov is a Doctor of Biological Sciences and a senior researcher at the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His book on the evolution of living beings, "The Birth of Complexity" (2010), became an event in popular science literature and received wide recognition from readers.
