In Becoming Human, noted anthropologist and renaissance man Ian Tattersall explores what makes us uniquely human, the qualities that set us apart from our ancestors, and the significance of our knowledge. A worldwide tour of discovery, Tattersall takes the reader from 30,000-year-old cave paintings in France and anthropological digs in Africa, to examining human behavior in a New York restaurant. And by offering wisdom gleaned from fossil remains, primate behavior, prehistoric art, and archaeology, Tattersall presents a stunning picture of where humankind evolved, how Darwin’s theories have changed, and what we reliably know about modern-day human’s capacity for love, language, and thought.

(Book description from the publisher, Harcourt Books)


There is a very optimistic scenario waiting to unfold and that is one where the needs of the economy are actually in-line with the natural functioning of the human brain.
Terry Ryan, Senior Researcher, The New Economy's Impact on Learning
