The Fight for a Meal: 50 More Tales from the Grotto

A human is not only what they eat, but also the way they obtain food. For millions of years, our ancestors gathered fruits, caught fish, hunted animals, and tried not to become prey for other predators. Their entire lives were tied to finding and preparing food. Even the feeling of surprise, communication, and rituals had something to do with food. This book contains 50 stories about how our ancestors fought for survival, searched for food, and how modern science helps us understand their lives. Each story is accompanied by a scientific investigation to show how we learn about the past. The main thing we learn from this book is that our ancestors were different—and those who were stronger, smarter, and kinder managed to survive and leave descendants. We are their descendants, so we should strive to be the best in order to pass that on to our descendants.
