  • The Unstoppable Human Species

    by John J. Shea ...
    In The Unstoppable Human Species John Shea explains how the earliest humans achieved mastery over all but the most severe, biosphere-level, extinction threats.

  • Prehistoric Stone Tools of Eastern Africa

    A Guide

    by John J. Shea ...
    Stone tools are the least familiar objects that archaeologists recover from their excavations, and predictably, they struggle to understand them. Eastern Africa alone boasts a 3.4 million-year-long archaeological record but its stone tool evidence still remains disorganized, unsynthesized, and all-but-impenetrable to non-experts, and especially so to students from Eastern African countries. In ... Read more

  • Adulthood, Morality, and the Fully Human

    A Mosaic of Peace

    by John J. Shea ...
    In Adulthood, Morality, and the Fully Human, John J. Shea describes an adult, moral, and fully human self in terms of integrity and mutuality. Those who are fully human are caring and just.

Integrity and mutuality together beget care and justice and care and justice together beget peace. Shea ... Read more

  • Stone Tools in Human Evolution

    Behavioral Differences among Technological Primates

    by John J. Shea ...
    In Stone Tools in Human Evolution, John J. Shea argues that over the last three million years hominins' technological strategies shifted from occasional tool use, much like that seen among living non-human primates, to a uniquely human pattern of obligatory tool use. Examining how the lithic archaeological record changed over the course of human evolution, he compares tool use by living humans and ... Read more

  • The Humans Who Went Extinct:Why Neanderthals died out and we survived

    Why Neanderthals died out and we survived

    by Clive Finlayson ...
    Just 28,000 years ago, the blink of an eye in geological time, the last of Neanderthals died out in their last outpost, in caves near Gibraltar. Thanks to cartoons and folk accounts we have a distorted view of these other humans - for that is what they were. We think of them as crude and clumsy and not very bright, easily driven to extinction by the lithe, smart modern humans that came out of ... Read more
