«El Origen del Ser Humano» is Eduardo Punset's popular science essay, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The book traces human evolution through the fossil record, from Ardipithecus ramidus («Ardi») to the emergence of Homo sapiens, and explains milestones such as the split between chimpanzees and bonobos around six million years ago or the facultative bipedalism of early hominins. Punset reflects on our tendency to view evolution from a teleological and self-centred perspective.
Volume 5 of the collection «Nuestro lugar en el universo», from the Claves de la Ciencia series, directed by Eduardo Punset. Published in 2011.
Recommended for those interested in human evolution, palaeontology and science communication.
Eduard Punset i Casals was a Spanish politician, lawyer, economist, and science popularizer.
