THE STORY OF US

Ten million years ago, there was not a single human on this planet. Today, there are over seven billion of us! How did we get here? This book has the answers! It explores Charles Darwin and his fascinating theory of evolution, how putting together a fossil jigsaw can tell us about our past, our earliest ancestor, which looked more like a squirrel, how early humans learned to use tools, speak to each other and make art, and how we ended up where we are today. Who knows what will happen next in the Story of Us…
