Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Some highlighting, else Very Good. For more than a century, scientists have raced to unravel the human family tree and have grappled with its complications. Now, with an astonishing new discovery, everything we thought we knew about primate origins could change. Lying inside a high-security vault, deep within the heart of one of the world?s leading natural history museums, is the scientific find of a lifetime ? a perfectly fossilized early primate, older than the previously most famous primate fossil, Lucy, by forty-four million years. A secret until now, the fossil ? ?Ida? to the researchers who have painstakingly verified her provenance ? is the most complete primate fossil ever found. Forty-seven million years old, Ida rewrites what we?ve assumed about the earliest primate origins. Her completeness is unparalleled ? so much of what we understand about evolution comes from partial fossils and even single bones, but Ida?s fossilization offers much more than that, from a haunting ?skin shadow? to her stomach contents. And, remarkably, knowledge of her discovery and existence almost never saw the light of day. With exclusive access to the first scientists to study her, the award-winning science writer Colin Tudge tells the history of Ida and her place in the world. A magnificent, cutting-edge scientific detective story followed her discovery, and The Link offers a wide-ranging investigation into Ida and our earliest origins. At the same time, it opens a stunningly evocative window into our past and changes what we know about primate evolution and, ultimately, our own.

hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 304 Seiten Im Hochsicherheitsdepot eines der führenden Museen der Welt befindet sich ein aufsehenerregender Fund, womöglich die bedeutendste wissenschaftliche Entdeckung der letzten Jahre. Bis vor kurzem wussten weniger als ein Dutzend Experten von seiner Existenz, nun wirft er völlig neues Licht auf die Ursprünge der Menschheit. Es handelt sich um ein exzellent erhaltenes Fossil eines Primaten, sensationelle 44 Millionen Jahre älter als 'Lucy', der bislang berühmtesten Urahnin des Menschen. Der Fundort: Deutschland. Genauer: Die Grube Messel bei Darmstadt, heute Unesco-Weltnaturerbe. 'Ida' - wie die Forscher, die das Fossil seit 2006 wissenschaftlich bearbeiten, das mögliche 'Missing Link' in der Entwicklungsgeschichte von Affen und Menschen liebevoll nennen - blieb lange Zeit der Weltöffentlichkeit verborgen. Jetzt wird sich an Darwinius masillae eine spannungsreiche Diskussion über unsere ältesten Vorfahren entzünden. 9783492053716 Wir verkaufen nur, was wir auch selbst lesen würden.
