The Bipedal Primate Next Door - A Study of What It Means to Be Human (Paperback)

Known scientifically as Homo Sapiens, of the genus Homo and bipedal primates, modern humans are thought to have originated in Africa over 200,000 years ago. The factors that set humans apart from other primates are their highly evolved brain function, the ability to reason, language capabilities, introspection, and advanced problem-solving. Approached from the perspective that evolution was required to create the changes into human behavioral modernity, this book explores what is means to be a human, from the meaning of man as a term and label, to human biology, human sexuality and gender roles, ethnicity and race, plus the concept of human nature, and much more.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
