Who we are and how we got here : ancient DNA and the new science of the human past / by Reich, David(Of Harvard Medical School),author.(CARDINAL)353007;
Introduction -- Part I: The deep history of our species. How the genome explains who we are ; Encounters the Neanderthals ; Ancient DNA opens the floodgates -- Part II: How we got to where we are today. Humanity's ghosts ; The making of modern Europe ; The collision that formed India ; In search of Native American ancestors ; The genomic origins of East Asians ; Rejoining Africa to the human story -- Part III: The disruptive genome. The genomics of inequality ; The genomics of race and identity ; The future of ancient DNA."A groundbreaking book about how technological advances in genomics and the extraction of ancient DNA have profoundly changed our understanding of human prehistory while resolving many long-standing controversies. Massive technological innovations now allow scientists to extract and analyze ancient DNA as never before, and it has become clear--in part from David Reich's own contributions to the field--that genomics is as important a means of understanding the human past as archeology, linguistics, and the written word. Now, in The New Science of the Human Past, Reich describes with unprecedented clarity just how the human genome provides not only all the information that a fertilized human egg needs to develop but also contains within it the history of our species. He delineates how the Genomic Revolution and ancient DNA are transforming our understanding of our own lineage as modern humans; how genomics deconstructs the idea that there are no biologically meaningful differences among human populations (though without adherence to pernicious racist hierarchies); and how DNA studies reveal the deep history of human inequality--among different populations, between the sexes, and among individuals within a population"--Includes bibliographical references and index.

Decoding Neanderthals [videorecording] / by Powell, Nick Clarke.; Gibbon, Johanna Woolford.; Harding, Ben,producer/director/writer.; WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.)(CARDINAL)154259;
Originally broadcast by PBS Jan. 9, 2013.Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans left their African homeland and entered Europe, then a bleak and inhospitable continent in the grip of the Ice Age. But when they arrived, they were not alone: the stocky, powerfully built Neanderthals had already been living there for hundreds of thousands of years. So what happened when the first modern humans encountered the Neanderthals? Did they make love or war?DVD, widescreen presentation; stereo.

Cro-Magnon : how the Ice Age gave birth to the first modern humans / by Fagan, Brian M.(CARDINAL)141937;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-283) and index.Momentous encounters -- Neanderthal ancestors -- Neanderthals and their world -- The quiet people -- The 10,000th grandmother -- Great mobility -- The realm of the Lion Man -- Fat, flints, and furs -- Gravettians -- The power of the hunt -- Magdalenians -- The challenge of warming.Momentous encounters -- Neanderthal ancestors -- Neanderthals and their world -- The quiet people -- The ten thousandth grandmother -- Great mobility -- The realm of the Lion Man -- Fat, flints, and furs -- The Gravettians -- The power of the hunt -- The Magdalenians -- The challenge of warming.Cro-Magnons were the first fully modern Europeans--not only the creators of the stunning cave paintings at Lascaux and elsewhere, but the most adaptable and technologically inventive people that had yet lived on earth. The prolonged encounter between the Cro-Magnons and the archaic Neanderthals, between 45,000 and 30,000 years ago, was one of the defining moments of history. The Neanderthals survived for some 15,000 years in the face of the newcomers, but were finally pushed aside by the Cro-Magnons' vastly superior intellectual abilities and cutting-edge technologies. What do we know about this remarkable takeover? Who were these first modern Europeans and what were they like? How did they manage to thrive in such an extreme environment? And what legacy did they leave behind them after the cold millennia? This is the story of a little known, yet seminal, chapter of human experience.--From publisher description.

Cannibalism : a perfectly natural history / by Schutt, Bill,author.(CARDINAL)339824;
Includes bibliographical references.Animal the cannibal -- Go on, eat the kids -- Sexual cannibalism or size matters -- Quit crowding me -- Bear down -- Dinosaur cannibals? -- File under: weird -- Neanderthals and the guys in the other valley -- Columbus, caribs and cannibalism -- Bones of contention -- Cannibalism and the Bible -- The worst party ever -- Eating people is bad -- Eating people is good -- Chia skulls and mummy powder -- Placenta helper -- Cannibalism in the Pacific Islands -- Mad cows and Englishmen -- Acceptable risk.Eating one's own kind is completely natural behavior in thousands of species, including humans. Throughout history we have engaged in cannibalism for reasons relating to famine, burial rites, and medicinal remedies. Cannibalism has been used as a form of terrorism but also as the ultimate expression of filial piety. With unexpected wit and a wealth of knowledge, Bill Schutt, a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us on a tour of the field, exploring exciting new avenues of research and investigating questions like why so many fish eat their offspring and some amphibians consume their mother's skin; why sexual cannibalism is an evolutionary advantage for certain spiders; why, until the end of the eighteenth century, British royalty regularly ate human body parts; how cannibalism may be linked to the extinction of Neanderthals; why microbes on sacramental bread may have led to Catholics' to persecute European Jews in the Middle Ages. Today, the subject of humans consuming one another has been relegated to the realm of horror movies, fiction, and the occasional psychopath, but be forewarned: As climate change progresses and humans see more famine, disease, and overcrowding, biological and cultural constraints may well disappear. These are the very factors that lead to outbreaks of cannibalism. As he examines these close encounters of the cannibal kind, Bill Schutt makes the ick-factor fascinating.
