{"product_id":"triumph-of-the-intelligent-seymour-w-itzkoff-9780820413051","title":"Triumph of the Intelligent: The Creation of Homo Sapiens Sapiens","description":"About forty thousand years ago, a new kind of hominid suddenly appeared in Europe and Western Asia. This was a creature unlike any of the other hominids then existing - borderline \u003ci\u003eHomo\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003esapiens, \u003c\/i\u003e and the enigmatic \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens neanderthalensis. \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens sapiens, \u003c\/i\u003e as he has now come to be known, was distinguished from his contemporaries by his increased height, delicate bone structure, and the huge balloon-like cranium that announced an intelligence that allowed for the radical break with the existing models. We see the results of this intelligence pouring out in an exuberance of material and artistic creativity. In his homeland, which extended from Spain to the Urals, a tiny, gemlike, if frost-encrusted civilization was spontaneously created.\u003cbr\u003e Seymour W. Itzkoff focuses in \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Intelligent\u003c\/i\u003e on the evolutionary dynamics that led to the production of ever more intelligent humans, finally culminating in this sudden spasm of reconstruction. Itzkoff has followed the evidence carefully, attempting to stay within the assignable limits of evolutionary theory to produce a most-probable model of the dynamics that extruded this enigmatic creature, \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens sapiens.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seymour W.
