    Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time. This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution. Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens. By separating the history of palaeoanthropology from current interpretation of the human fossil record, it lays numerous misconceptions to rest, and demonstrates that human evolution has been far from the linear struggle from primitiveness to perfection that we've been led to believe. It also presents a coherent scenario for how Homo sapiens contrived to cross a formidable cognitive barrier to become an extraordinary and unprecedented thinking creature. Understanding Human Evolution is for anyone interested in the complex and tangled story of how we came to be.

    The Theory of Evolution Is In a Crisis 
    In the updated second edition of Evolution's Final Days, John Morrison presents compelling arguments and new evidence that challenge the mainstream understanding of evolution. This edition is enriched with additional chapters and fully sourced information. 
    Jun-Yuan Chen, a renowned paleontologist, once observed: "In China, we can criticize Darwin, but not the government. In America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin." This statement underscores the controversial nature of evolutionary theory—a central theme of Morrison’s book. 
    Evolution's Final Days explores the complexities of evolution as it is currently taught in educational institutions worldwide. From the primordial soup to the diverse species inhabiting the Earth today, including the descent of humans from apes, Morrison scrutinizes these concepts. He then unveils what textbooks omit, casting the theory of evolution in a radically new light. 
    By the end of this book, readers will understand why the traditional narrative of evolution might not hold up as claimed. Morrison calls for a community-driven approach to advocate for scientific integrity and a true representation of evolutionary theory. 
    This book is designed to provoke thought, whether you're a newcomer to the topic or a seasoned scholar with a PhD in evolutionary studies. Prepare to challenge what you've been told and discover intriguing facts that could reshape your understanding of life itself.
