Book excerpt: 'AWARD-WINNING BOOK' Silver medal - Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest and 5 Stars Book Reviews' ‘Literary Titan Gold Book Award and 5 Stars Book Reviews’ ‘Amazon Best Seller #1 History of the Middle East and #2 Ancient Early Civilization History’ Comprehensive Study of the Origin of Humankind is not a textbook or conventional science book since the evidence that was discovered during this research does not agree with many of the precepts approved by orthodox science. The topic covered in this book is not considered in scientific or academic institutions because most of the Mesopotamian texts were labeled as mythology. Moreover, our ancient history is under a veil of unknowns and misunderstandings. The language and organization of the book were intended to make it easy for all readers, regardless of educational level, to follow and understand the story. The book deals with the arrival of the Anunnaki on Earth and the consequences of their mission. The detailed history in chronological order of everything that happened is presented according to our findings in the Mesopotamian texts and other ancient sources. It covers all the events from the formation of the Solar System and the arrival of the Anunnaki to the time of Alexander the Great. The fact that some of the stories in the Genesis account were already written in Mesopotamian texts thousands of years earlier prompted the evaluation of the most relevant texts. As we know Genesis is the only book in the Bible that deals with the origin of humanity, some verses were included to show the parallelism that exists with the Mesopotamian texts. The extraordinary similarity in terms of content and the dates on which the events occurred between both sources were evaluated and demonstrated through statistical analysis. Analysis of scholarly translations of the Mesopotamian texts and ancient books revealed that many key details that are critical to understanding the story have thus far not been revealed as they happened. In addition, some texts contain metaphors whose message has not been properly determined. The research was supplemented by many sources, including the analysis of apocryphal books, reports from ancient historians, scientific research, and archaeological records. The extensive analysis and inquisitive reading of the contents in search of clues, provided the necessary knowledge to determine the most probable dates in which all the great events of human history occurred. At the end of this investigation, we concluded that the results and findings deserve to be known due to the high probability that the stories contained in the Mesopotamian texts really happened. This research has provided the answer to hitherto unanswered riddles, it is a revelation of who, how, when, and why these events occurred in ancient times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A meticulously clear account of how early ape-men of the African savanna developed into fully human beings. Leakey has always been interested in far more than the mere physical features presented by fossils, and here he is particularly concerned with non-tangible human attributes, such as art, language and consciousness itself. Leakey's personal involvement in many of the key discoveries of hominid fossils, and his friendships and rivalries with his fellow fossil hunters, add more than a dash of spice to his narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The name Leakey is synonymous with the study of human origins,” wrote The New York Times. The renowned family of paleontologists—Louis Leakey, Mary Leakey, and their son Richard Leakey—has vastly expanded our understanding of human evolution. The Origin of Humankind is Richard Leakey’s personal view of the development of Homo Sapiens. At the heart of his new picture of evolution is the introduction of a heretical notion: once the first apes walked upright, the evolution of modern humans became possible and perhaps inevitable. From this one evolutionary step comes all the other evolutionary refinements and distinctions that set the human race apart from the apes. In fascinating sections on how and why modern humans developed a social organization, culture, and personal behavior, Leakey has much of interest to say about the development of art, language, and human consciousness.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Book excerpt: Humankind. At the same time, it's best friend and its worst enemy. We're capable of the Declaration of Human Rights and Genocide, sending a man to the moon and polluting our oceans. Why are we inhabited by such extreme objectives? What is the origin of such a paradoxical humankind? Humans can be angels, Mother Teresa, Schindler, and Dr. Jekyll. The Bible calls this righteousness. Humans can be demons, Saddam Hussein, Stalin, and Mr. Hyde. The Bible calls this sin. We want humans to be loving, kind, peaceful, and happy. But… Are we human angels or human demons? We need to figure out what makes humans tick. Are we subject to our consciousness and mind pulsations? Do we have any choice in the matter? The clock is ticking. When it stops, will it be heaven or hell? "I commend anyone who takes measures to look beyond the surface meaning of scriptures since there's so much hidden in Biblical text. People who take it at surface value often miss precious gems of wisdom." D. Robinson. This commentary on Genesis 2 is an eye-opening solution to the human paradox. Learn the origin of consciousness and the mind. Join all the dots as we delve into the Biblical Hebrew, the original language of the Bible.

Book excerpt: "Riveting. ... Pattison's uncanny ability [is] to write evocatively about science. ... In this, he is every bit as good as the best scientist writers." —New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Brilliant. ... A work of staggering depth." —Minneapolis Star Tribune A decade in the making, Fossil Men is a scientific detective story played out in anatomy and the natural history of the human body: the first full-length account of the discovery of a startlingly unpredicted human ancestor more than a million years older than Lucy It is the ultimate mystery: where do we come from? In 1994, a team led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White uncovered a set of ancient bones in Ethiopia’s Afar region. Radiometric dating of nearby rocks indicated the resulting skeleton, classified as Ardipithecus ramidus—nicknamed “Ardi”—was an astounding 4.4 million years old, more than a million years older than the world-famous “Lucy.” The team spent the next 15 years studying the bones in strict secrecy, all while continuing to rack up landmark fossil discoveries in the field and becoming increasingly ensnared in bitter disputes with scientific peers and Ethiopian bureaucrats. When finally revealed to the public, Ardi stunned scientists around the world and challenged a half-century of orthodoxy about human evolution—how we started walking upright, how we evolved our nimble hands, and, most significantly, whether we were descended from an ancestor that resembled today’s chimpanzee. But the discovery of Ardi wasn’t just a leap forward in understanding the roots of humanity--it was an attack on scientific convention and the leading authorities of human origins, triggering an epic feud about the oldest family skeleton. In Fossil Men, acclaimed journalist Kermit Pattison brings us a cast of eccentric, obsessive scientists, including White, an uncompromising perfectionist whose virtuoso skills in the field were matched only by his propensity for making enemies; Gen Suwa, a Japanese savant whose deep expertise about teeth rivaled anyone on Earth; Owen Lovejoy, a onetime creationist-turned-paleoanthropologist with radical insights into human locomotion; Berhane Asfaw, who survived imprisonment and torture to become Ethiopia’s most senior paleoanthropologist; Don Johanson, the discoverer of Lucy, who had a rancorous falling out with the Ardi team; and the Leakeys, for decades the most famous family in paleoanthropology. Based on a half-decade of research in Africa, Europe and North America, Fossil Men is not only a brilliant investigation into the origins of the human lineage, but the oldest of human emotions: curiosity, jealousy, perseverance and wonder.
