Who was the immediate ancestor of man? What does a chain with Homo sapiens at the end look like, and are all its links in place? Why do some discoveries turn out to be not what they seem at first? And why did hominids become intelligent, and not other mammals? “The Missing Link” - the history of human origins in two books - answers these and other burning questions about our past in detail and in a fascinating way. Leading Russian anthropologist, scientific editor of the portal “Anthropogenesis.ru” and the brilliant lecturer Stanislav Drobyshevsky knows about this, probably more than any other living descendant of paleoanthropes, and like no one else knows how to instill interest in modern, rapidly developing science, which is directly related to each of us. In the second book of “The Missing Link” the speech It’s about ancient people, about how much, what and how we inherited from them - and about who we can turn into in the future.
