The Genesis Chronicles: The Evolution of Humankind
Glen McBride
Drawing on his long and distinguished career as an internationally recognised ethologist, Glenorchy McBride illustrates each of his chronicles with detailed scientific background material. The Genesis Chronicles present a picture of the history of evolution, a picture which prompts McBride to ask whether our evolution has fitted us for the world we have created or whether we are irredeemably flawed by our ancestral experiences.
Yellowtip's accidental discovery of weaponry provides the basis for the first chronicle in this personal take on the key events in various stages of evolution. Discussed are events that had a profound effect on the development and prosperity of early humans, such as the first time a prehistoric ape stood upright, harnessed fire, or practiced agriculture. Sit with Fireboy as he anxiously nurtures the first flickering embers of an open fire. Meet the first artists, traders, herders, and finally, the sower of seeds, the visionary who led people toward modern agriculture. In 15 stories, the possible scenarios for how these ground-breaking events might have occurred are postulated. Each story is followed by a scientific discussion arguing the importance of the episode and explaining the sometimes rather contentious interpretations of these events.
