Ancient Bones
"Splendid and important... Scientifically rigorous and written with a clarity and candor that create a gripping tale... [Böhme's] account of the history of Europe's lost apes is imbued with the sweat, grime, and triumph that is the lot of the fieldworker, and carries great authority." —Tim Flannery, The New York Review of Books In this "fascinating forensic inquiry into human origins" (Kirkus STARRED Review), a renowned paleontologist takes readers behind-the-scenes of one of the most groundbreaking archaeological digs in recent history. Somewhere west of Munich, paleontologist Madelaine Böhme and her colleagues dig for clues to the origins of humankind. What they discover is beyond anyt...
Summary of Madelaine Bohme's Ancient Bones
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was going to be part of a human evolution project co-managed by the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research and the University of Tübingen. In the middle of all the upheaval that comes with taking on a new position, I got a phone call from Nikolai Spassov, the director of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria. #2 Spassov had found the fossilized remains of a great ape in Bulgaria, which contradicted the accepted school of thought that said apes had died out in Europe long before. We went to dig up the tooth and confirm its date. #3 I was assigned to reevaluate the lower jawbone and other fossils found in Pyrgos, and establish exact dates for the sites at Azmaka, Pyrgos, and Pikermi. I was hoping the fossils would lead me back to the beginnings of paleontology in the nineteenth century.
SUMMARY - Ancient Bones: Unearthing The Astonishing New Story Of How We Became Human By Madelaine Böhme Rüdiger Braun And Florian Breier
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover that the cradle of humanity may not be in Africa, but in Europe. You will also discover : that the lineage of Man was different from that of the chimpanzee 7 or 8 million years ago; that prehumans, who preceded Man, possess both ape and human characteristics; that bipedalism is a distinctive feature of Man; that the bones found in Europe are older than those found in Africa; that climate change has encouraged the migration of prehumans to Africa. The history of humanity evolves according to the discoveries made by researche...
RIEPILOGO - Ancient Bones / Ossa antiche: Unearthing The Astonishing New Story Of How We Became Human Di Madelaine Böhme Rüdiger Braun E Florian Breier
Leggendo questo riassunto, scoprirete che la culla dell'umanità potrebbe non essere in Africa, ma in Europa. Scoprirete anche : che la discendenza dell'uomo era diversa da quella dello scimpanzé 7 o 8 milioni di anni fa; che i preumani, che hanno preceduto l'uomo, possiedono caratteristiche sia scimmiesche che umane; che il bipedalismo è una caratteristica distintiva dell'Uomo; che le ossa trovate in Europa sono più antiche di quelle trovate in Africa; che i cambiamenti climatici hanno favorito la migrazione dei preumani verso l'Africa. La storia dell'umanità si evolve in base alle scoperte fatte dai ricercatori. Per esempio, potreste aver appreso che nel regno animale il vostro parente più prossimo è la scimmia e che l'Africa è stata la culla dell'umanità. Sembra logico, perché è lì che si trova la maggior parte delle grandi scimmie di oggi. Tuttavia, questa teoria darwiniana, ereditata dal XIX secolo, è ora messa in discussione da scienziati le cui scoperte stanno sconvolgendo lo scenario dell'origine dell'uomo. Avete intenzione di mettere in discussione tutto ciò che pensavate di sapere sui vostri antenati?
SAMENVATTING - Ancient Bones / Oude botten: Unearthing The Astonishing New Story Of How We Became Human Door Madelaine Böhme Rüdiger Braun En Florian Breier
Als je deze samenvatting leest, zul je ontdekken dat de wieg van de mensheid misschien niet in Afrika staat, maar in Europa. Je zult ook ontdekken : dat de afstamming van de mens 7 of 8 miljoen jaar geleden anders was dan die van de chimpansee; dat de pre-mensen, die aan de mens voorafgingen, zowel aap- als menskenmerken bezitten; dat tweevoetigheid een onderscheidend kenmerk van de mens is; dat de botten die in Europa zijn gevonden ouder zijn dan die in Afrika; dat klimaatverandering de migratie van pre-mensen naar Afrika heeft aangemoedigd. De geschiedenis van de mensheid evolueert volgens de ontdekkingen van onderzoekers. Je hebt bijvoorbeeld geleerd dat in het dierenrijk je naaste verwant de aap was en dat Afrika de wieg van de mensheid was. Dit lijkt logisch, aangezien de meeste mensapen vandaag de dag daar te vinden zijn. Maar deze Darwinistische theorie, geërfd uit de 19e eeuw, wordt nu in twijfel getrokken door wetenschappers die met hun ontdekkingen het scenario van de oorsprong van de mens op zijn kop zetten. Ga jij alles wat je dacht te weten over je voorouders in twijfel trekken?
RESUMEN - Ancient Bones / Huesos antiguos: Unearthing The Astonishing New Story Of How We Became Human Por Madelaine Böhme Rüdiger Braun Y Florian Breier
Al leer este resumen, descubrirá que la cuna de la humanidad podría no estar en África, sino en Europa. También descubrirá : que el linaje del Hombre era diferente al del chimpancé hace 7 u 8 millones de años; que los prehumanos, que precedieron al Hombre, poseen características tanto simiescas como humanas; que el bipedalismo es un rasgo distintivo del Hombre; que los huesos encontrados en Europa son más antiguos que los encontrados en África que el cambio climático ha favorecido la migración de los prehumanos a África. La historia de la humanidad evoluciona según los descubrimientos realizados por los investigadores. Por ejemplo, es posible que haya aprendido que en el reino animal, su pariente más cercano era el mono y que África fue la cuna de la humanidad. Esto parece lógico, ya que es allí donde se encuentran la mayoría de los grandes simios actuales. Sin embargo, esta teoría darwiniana, heredada del siglo XIX, está siendo cuestionada por científicos cuyos descubrimientos están trastornando el escenario del origen del hombre. ¿Va a cuestionar todo lo que creía saber sobre sus antepasados?
Geological and Biological Effects of Impact Events
This book is the first volume of a new interdisciplinary series on "Impact Studies". The volumes of this series aim to include all aspects of research related to impact cratering - geology, geophysics, paleontology, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, planetolgy, etc. Future volumes will include monographs, field guides, conference proceedings, etc. All contributions in this book were peer-reviewed to ensure high scientific quality. The thirteen papers in the present volume result from a workshop of the European Science Foundation (ESF) IMPACT programme ("Response of the Earth System to Impact Processes"). This programme is an interdisciplinary effort aimed at understanding impact processes...
Untermassfeld
The fossil site of Untermassfeld, near the town of Meiningen in Southern Thuringia, was discovered in 1978 and has been the subject of 25 field seasons. The digs have produced a stunning array of fossil vertebrate remains in stratigraphic context, making this unquestionably one of the most important Quaternary localities in Europe. In this volume the author provides the first full synthesis of the work, bringing the results up to date, and placing them in a broad context. With some 14,000 determinable vertebrate fossils, the Untermassfeld assemblage represents the most complete assemblage of the time span 1.2-0.9 Ma BP in the Western Palaearctic.

Fossil Mammals of Asia
"This book is on the emergence of mammals in Asia, based largely on new fossil finds throughout Asia and cutting-edge biostratigraphic and geochemical methods of dating the fossils and their geological substrate"--Provided by publisher.
