Fight for Lunch: 50 More Tales from the Grotto
29.99 €
We are what we eat. But we are also the way we get our food. For millions of years, our ancestors have been searching for fruit, catching fish, hunting birds and animals, and sometimes trying not to become someone's lunch. Our whole lives revolve around food. Even our sense of wonder, our ways of socializing, our rituals, all either stem from a desire to eat or are accompanied by a feast.
How foremothers fought their battle for dinner - 50 non-fictional stories will tell you about it. Modern science can tell us a lot about life in the past. And that is why each story is accompanied by an investigation, a tale of how scientists learn about the long past. The main thing that we learn when considering this amazing kaleidoscope - ancient people were different. Some of them were unlucky, but those that were better - stronger, smarter, kinder - all survived, multiplied and became our ancestors. We are descendants of the best ancestors, and this is a reason to try to be the best ancestors for our descendants.
