    How Language Began
    In his groundbreaking new book Daniel Everett seeks answers to questions that have perplexed thinkers from Plato to Chomsky: when and how did language begin? What is it? And what is it for?Daniel Everett confounds the conventional wisdom that language originated with Homo sapiens 150,000 years ago and that we have a 'language instinct'. Drawing on evidence from a wide range of fields, including linguistics, archaeology, biology, anthropology and neuroscience, he shows that our ancient ancestors, Homo erectus, had the biological and mental equipment for speech one and half million years ago, and that their cultural and technological achievements (including building ocean-going boats) make it overwhelmingly likely they spoke some kind of language.How Language Began sheds new light on language and culture and what it means to be human and, as always, Daniel Everett spices his account with incident and anecdote. His book is convincing, arresting and entertaining.

    Migrations: A History of Where We All Came from
    Discover how the migration of peoples has shaped the modern world. This beautifully illustrated book details the movement of people and cultures around the world - from the early migrations of Homo erectus out of Africa 50,000 years ago to modern refugee movements and migrations. Through vibrant photographs, illustrations, and maps, Migrations explores famous (and infamous) movements in history, from the Middle Passage and Trail of Tears to the California Gold Rush, the Italian diaspora, and the Windrush generation. While many traditional world histories focus on (mainly European) "exploration" and "discovery," Migrations explores the story of each continent and focuses on cultures rather than conquest. Migrations highlights the human story and the positives: what has survived, not just what was destroyed. Migrations is a history book with a fresh perspective, focusing on a topic ever more relevant in the modern world: Where did we come from? And what brought us here?

    The Conscious Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 212min
    How did the human mind emerge from the collection of neurons that makes up the brain? How did the brain acquire self-awareness, functional autonomy, language, and the ability to think, to understand itself and the world? In this volume in the Essential Knowledge series, Zoltan Torey offers an accessible and concise description of the evolutionary breakthrough that created the human mind. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and linguistics, Torey reconstructs the sequence of events by which Homo erectus became Homo sapiens. He describes the augmented functioning that underpins the emergent mind - a new ("offline") internal response system with which the brain accesses itself and then forms a selection mechanism for mentally generated behavior options. This functional breakthrough, Torey argues, explains how the animal brain's "awareness" became self-accessible and reflective - that is how the human brain acquired a conscious mind. Consciousness, unlike animal awareness, is not a unitary phenomenon but a composite process. Torey's account shows how protolanguage evolved into language, how a brain subsystem for the emergent mind was built, and why these developments are opaque to introspection. We experience the brain's functional autonomy, he argues, as free will. Torey proposes that once life began, consciousness had to emerge - because consciousness is the informational source of the brain's behavioral response. Consciousness, he argues, is not a newly acquired "quality", "cosmic principle", "circuitry arrangement", or "epiphenomenon", as others have argued, but an indispensable working component of the living system's manner of functioning. ungekürzt.

    Migrations
    Discover how the migration of peoples has shaped the modern world. This beautifully-illustrated book details the movement of people and cultures around the world - from the early migrations of Homo erectus out of Africa 50,000 years ago to modern refugee movements and migrations. Through striking photographs, evocative illustrations, and intimate first hand accounts, Migrations explores famous (and infamous) movements in history, from the Middle Passage and Trail of Tears to the California Gold Rush and the Windrush generation. While many traditional world histories focus on (mainly European) "exploration" and "discovery", Migrations explores the story of each continent and focuses on cultures rather than conquest. Migrations highlights the human story and the positives: what has survived, not just what was destroyed. With a foreword by award-winning historian, broadcaster, and filmmaker, David Olusoga OBE, Migrations is a history book with a fresh perspective, focusing on a topic ever more relevant in the modern world: Where did we come from? Why do people leave their homes? What brought us all together?

    Human Prehistory and the First Civilizations, Hörbuch, Digital, 1090min
    Where do we come from? How did our ancestors settle this planet? How did the great historic civilizations of the world develop? How does a past so shadowy that it has to be painstakingly reconstructed from fragmentary, largely unwritten records nonetheless make us who and what we are? These 36 lectures bring you the answers that the latest scientific and archaeological research and theorizing suggest about human origins, how populations developed, and the ways in which civilizations spread throughout the globe. It's a narrative of the story of human origins and the many ties that still bind us deeply to the world before writing. And it's a world tour of prehistory with profound links to who we are and how we live today. Woven through this narrative is a set of pervasive themes: emerging human biological and cultural diversity (as well as our remarkable similarities across surprising expanses of time and space); the impact of human adaptations to climatic and environmental change; and the importance of seeing prehistory not merely as a chronicle of archaeological sites and artifacts, but of people behaving with the extraordinary intellectual, spiritual, and emotional dynamism that distinguish the human. Among the corners of our mysterious past you'll explore: human prehistory from Australopithecus africanus through Homo habilis and Homo erectus; the beginnings of agriculture and animal domestication; theories behind the appearance of urban civilization and overall attributes of preindustrial civilizations; the maritime trading revolutions in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia; and much more. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Brian M. Fagan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tcco/000162/bk_tcco_000162_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Spektrum Geschichte -Der Eroberungszug der Bauern
    Das Wandern ist des Menschen Lust. Seit es die Gattung Homo gibt, ist sie unterwegs. Und stets war die Migration folgenreich. Für die Natur, die Tierwelt oder die ansässigen Menschen. Vor rund 9000 Jahren sind die ersten Bauern von Vorderasien gen Europa aufgebrochen. Innerhalb weniger Jahrhunderte haben sie weite Teile des Kontinents besiedelt, auf dem Jäger und Sammler bereits lange umherzogen. In unserer Titelgeschichte ab S. 12 berichtet die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Laura Spinney über die Begegnungen von Bauern und Wildbeutern und erklärt, warum die Jäger und Sammler letztlich den Kürzeren zogen. Dass es bereits die Vorfahren von Homo sapiens in den Füßen juckte, schildert unser Autor Thorwald Ewe ab S. 64. Vor 1,8 Millionen Jahren war Homo erectus von Afrika aus bis in den Kaukasus gelangt. Auch solche Frühmenschen trafen wohl auf Neuankömmlinge - Neandertaler, Denisovaner und anatomisch moderne Menschen. Und auch diese Begegnungen blieben nicht folgenlos, wie Spuren in altem Erbgut zeigen. Mit dieser Ausgabe gibt es übrigens eine Neuerung im Heft. Unsere Kolumnisten schildern ihre Geschichten unter einem neuen Namen: »Hemmer und Meßner erzählen«. Sonst ändert sich daran nichts. Eine aufschlussreiche Lektüre wünscht Ihnen Karin Schlott, Redaktion Spektrum der Wissenschaft.

    Als der Mensch auf Bäumen saß
    Die Evolution des Menschen - vom Menschenaffen über den Neandertaler bis heuteDieses reich bebilderte Sachbuch führt Kinder durch die Schlüsselmomente der menschlichen Evolution und erklärt, wie wir uns über Jahrmillionen zu dem Homo sapiens entwickelt haben, der wir heute sind. Unsere Vorfahren und der aufrechte Gang werden dabei ebenso wissenschaftlich fundiert und kindgerecht beleuchtet wie die Bedeutung des Feuermachens, der Sesshaftigkeit, unserer Haustiere, des ersten Handels oder der Kunst.Was macht uns zu Menschen und woher kommen wir? Wie ein kluger Affe von den Bäumen herunterkletterte und die Welt veränderte wie kein anderes Tier zuvor!Wir blicken genauer auf einige entscheidende Gattungen, wie beispielsweise den Australopithecus Afarensis, zu der die berühmte "Lucy"' gehört, Ardipithecus oder Homo Erectus. Über die anatomische Entwicklung des Menschen hinausgehend untersucht dieses Buch, wie sich unsere Kultur und Lebensweise entwickelt hat, von der Frage, wie Spuren von Kaurimuscheln den frühen Handel zwischen den Stämmen offenbaren, bis hin zu der Erkenntnis, wie und warum der Mensch zuerst Hunde, Pferde und Nutztiere domestiziert und begonnen hat, sich in festen Dörfern und Städten niederzulassen.Ein hervorragend illustrierter Wissensschatz, der uns zeigt, was es bedeutet, ein Mensch zu sein.

    Europe: A History of its People
    The first one-volume, complete history of Europe, as told by Europeans themselves, from Homo Erectus to the Celts, to Greek wisdom and Roman grandeur, all of the way to the European phenomenon - the Industrial Revolution.This is the definitive way to discover the real, modern Europe progressively unfolding, because looking back to the past reveals more about our future than we ever expected, and only by knowing how Europe came to be, can we know what really lies ahead.Whilst experiencing constant turbulence and change, Europe has made an astonishing mark on the world. How did one small continent become so powerful? How did such diverse islands come together to act as one? How did a diplomatic society descend into bloodshed and what does that mean for Europe today?For two-millenia Europe has been a superpower; it's fretted coastlines, it's many religions and revolutions have all shaped what it is now, and with more change ahead Jean-Baptiste Duroselle's Europe including a special and up-to-date introduction from Anthony Teasdale, Director General for Parliamentary research and former Special Advisor for the Deputy Prime Minister, couldn't be better timed. It is a much needed portrayal of our ever turbulent Europe.
