In The Unstoppable Species John Shea explains how the earliest humans
achieved mastery over all but the most severe, biosphere-level,
extinction threats. He explores how and why we humans owe our survival
skills to our global geographic range, a diaspora that was achieved
during prehistoric times. By developing and integrating a suite of
Ancestral Survival Skills, humans overcame survival challenges better
than other hominins, and settled in previously unoccupied habitats. But
how did they do it? How did early humans endure long enough to become
our ancestors? Shea places 'how did they survive?' questions front and
center in prehistory. Using an explicitly scientific, comparative, and
hypothesis-testing approach, The Unstoppable Human Species critically
examines much 'archaeological mythology' about prehistoric humans.
Written in clear and engaging language, Shea's volume offers an original
and thought-provoking perspective on human evolution. Moving beyond
unproductive archaeological debates about prehistoric population
movements, The Unstoppable Human Species generates new and interesting
questions about human evolution.
