Neanderthals, Denisovans, Luzon people and even "hobbits" - what trace have they left in each of us? Who are they to us and to each other? What contacts could there have been between them? The author illustrates the answers to these questions with maps of archaeological sites, photographs of finds, and amazing stories like the tale of a genetic hybrid of two different kinds of people. Higham was directly involved in the study of this girl, born 90,000 years ago to a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father. Modern archaeology allows you to get information even from tiny pieces of material, to restore on fragmentary remains of a person almost his biography. And literally one discovery can fundamentally change our ideas about what happened in the past, so the reader will be especially interested to learn what has changed in genetics and archaeology in recent years and how to make revolutionary scientific breakthroughs.
