Homo sapiens. Brief history of the evolution of mankind

Everyone knows that a person came from a monkey, but on this most people knowledge about human evolution end. The magical transformation (and it really is magical) seems something like this - the monkey descended from a tree to the ground, stood on the hind limbs, picked up a stick and ... became a man. But how many issues and controversial issues that anthropologists still cannot solve!
Why did the monkeys need to go down from the trees? Not all monkeys have turned into people?
Where is the ancestral home of mankind?
How is sexual selection different from the natural? give sweaty palms?
Who are Neanderthals and how do they differ from the Denisovites?
Who are we - the crown of evolution or the intermediate link? who accompanied our ancestors for millennia. Thanks to the combination of ease of presenting serious scientific material with the encyclopedic latitude of the horizons, the book is read as an exciting adventure novel. Roman about our evolution with you!
