Questo libro risale allora fino agli albori dell’umanità: nelle foreste dell’Africa orientale che, 5 milioni di anni fa, diradano per effetto dei cambiamenti climatici. Tra gli ominidi che scendono dagli alberi ci sono anche i nostri antenati, che si adattano agli spazi aperti organizzandosi in gruppi estesi.
