Femina Sapiens

You may have heard of early man, but what about early woman? Today''s humans belong to the species Homo sapiens but we evolved from many species that came before. This fabulously illustrated book travels back in time and follows some of the many branches on the human family tree to meet our many-times-great grandmothers and grandfathers and find out what their lives might have been like. Where did they live? What did they eat? When did they start using tools, making fire or creating art? What''s more, this journey focuses on female fossil finds and what scientists have learned through them. We''ll meet ancestors such as Lucy, who walked on two feet, Benjamina, who was cared for by her family, and the tiny Flores Woman. This change of perspective offers a fresh and fascinating way of looking at early human history and how we became what we are today.
