This is the story that unfolds in \u003ci\u003eLucy's Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e, the saga of human evolution as told by a world-renowned primatologist who works among the female-dominant ringtailed lemurs of Madagascar. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe cannot be certain that Lucy was female--the bones themselves do not tell us. However, we do know, as Jolly points out in this erudite, funny, and informative book, that the females who came after Lucy--more adept than their males in verbal facility, sharing food, forging links between generations, migrating among places and groups, and devising creative mating strategies--played as crucial a role in the human evolutionary process as \"man\" ever did. In a book that takes us from the first cell to global society, Jolly shows us that to learn where we came from and where we go next, we need to understand how sex and intelligence, cooperation and love, emerged from the harsh Darwinian struggle in the past, and how these natural powers may continue to evolve in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Jolly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674005406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674005402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.17w x 1.41d","brand":"Alison Jolly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054242033919,"sku":"9780674005402","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c074306d-3420-4a3d-a29e-7d5c44d52d43.jpg?v=1685028833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lucys-legacy-lucys-legacy-alison-jolly-9780674005402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
