Rick Potts, director of the Smithsonians Human Origins Program, and Chris Sloan, National Geographics paleoanthropolgy expert, delve into our distant past to explain when, why, and how we acquired the unique biological and cultural qualities that govern our most fundamental connections and interactions with other people and with the natural world. Drawing on the latest research, they conclude that we are the last survivors of a once-diverse family tree, and that our evolution was shaped by one of the most unstable eras in Earths environmental history.The book presents a wealth of attractive new material especially developed for the Halls displays, from life-like reconstructions of our ancestors sculpted by the acclaimed John Gurche to photographs from National Geographic and Smithsonian archives, along with informative graphics and illustrations. In coordination with the exhibit opening, the PBS program NOVA will present a related three-part television series, and the museum will launch a website expected to draw 40 million visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInternational products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. | New | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895064494368,"sku":"NEW1426206062","price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81t-qB2qfcL.jpg?v=1782030335","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/what-does-it-mean-to-be-human-official-companion-book-to-the-smithsonian-national-museum-of-natural-historys-david-h-koch-hall-of-human-origins-1426206062","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
