Description
The Path of a Human.
Everything about how life on Earth was born, developed, and transformed.
Clear, interesting, scientific.
Beginning with the first publication of C. Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,” disputes among scientists about the “missing link”—an intermediate form between apes and humans—have continued to this day. These arguments still don’t die down. Drobyshevsky shows that there’s no point in looking for the “missing link,” because it has already been found—and not just one. Tracing the history of human emergence from the emergence of the first cells, the author explains by what laws life developed on Earth, what influenced various evolutionary choices, and ultimately why we ourselves and the world around us are exactly the way they are. How did the nervous system and sight arise? How did the skeleton and brain appear? How did ears, legs, and fur come about? How did lungs develop and the tail disappear? What in us is ape-like, and what distinguishes us from apes?
