Another Story of Prehistoric Men - Volume 1: The Origins

Content : A long, long time ago, but long after the dinosaurs, the planet was populated by great apes. Let’s see how one of them evolved into a man.

Why did he leave the trees? What species of humans appeared? What were they like? Hairy? Vaulted? Small or giant? What tools did they use? What did they do with them?

Following the dinosaurs, already written and illustrated by Emmanuelle Brillet, this new generously-sized opus invites readers to meet our oldest elders: Lucy, undoubtedly the best-known, but there are others too, much older than her! Thanks to this beautiful book, children explore from page to page - or rather from branch to branch, like good Australopithecines! - the family tree of all humanity. And, happily, they cultivate their scientific knowledge without ever ceasing to smile.

How does our species fit in with that of the “great apes”? When did our ancestors come down from the trees, and why? What are the differences between Homo habilis and Homo erectus? And how do we know all this? And... are we absolutely sure?
