The Bone Readers are a dedicated group of scholars who study the earliest human remains, their chemistry and DNA, their extinct floral and faunal contemporaries, and the geologic layers in which they were found. Their research leads them to theories about modern human origins that continually challenge conventional wisdom and cherished beliefs— about “Eve ,” Neanderthals, “hobbits,” and the Bering Straits, among others. Two leading Bone Readers and a science writer have penned a literate, authoritative summary of the current questions and the minefield of academic politics that surround it. Ideal for students in human origins or biological anthropology courses, and a delightful read.

"I lettori di ossa" racconta lo scontro tra scienza e politica nel dibattito sulla preistoria australiana e di altri Paesi dove la presenza dei popoli indigeni rende profondamente politica l’interpretazione del passato. Gli scienziati stanno ricostruendo la preistoria con l’uso di tecnologie sempre più avanzate mentre i popoli indigeni ne rivendicano la proprietà esclusiva. Questo rende sempre più difficile lo studio delle ossa e dei reperti che gli aborigeni attribuiscono ai loro antenati ancestrali. Simultaneamente, altri studiosi, in genere di estrazione umanistica, sfidano la supremazia del metodo scientifica per ricostruire il passato. La situazione è complicata dalla rivalità tra gruppi di ricerca, università e musei coinvolti in programmi sull’evoluzione umana, finanziati in modo precario. "I lettori di ossa" presenta la scienza alla base delle nuove ricerche sull’evoluzione umana, ma anche i protagonisti e la politica.
