* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

*As you read this summary, you will discover that the cradle of humanity may not be in Africa, but in Europe.

*You will also discover : that the lineage of Man was different from that of the chimpanzee 7 or 8 million years ago; that prehumans, who preceded Man, possess both ape and human characteristics; that bipedalism is a distinctive feature of Man; that the bones found in Europe are older than those found in Africa; that climate change has encouraged the migration of prehumans to Africa.

*The history of humanity evolves according to the discoveries made by researchers. For example, you may have learned that in the animal kingdom, your closest relative was the ape and that Africa was the cradle of humanity. This seems logical, since that is where most of the great apes are found today. However, this Darwinian theory, inherited from the 19th century, is now being questioned by scientists whose discoveries are upsetting the scenario of the origin of Man. Are you going to question everything you thought you knew about your ancestors?
