In prehistoric times, the Earth was inhabited by incredible animals: giant predators and herbivores with long, sharp teeth or huge, branching antlers...
But among these animals, one was the strangest of all. It walked on two legs, knapped stone, built shelters, and was not afraid of fire. In time, it would evolve into Homo sapiens and conquer the world.
In the course of its evolution, humans learned to live with other species. They observed animals, hunted them, imitated them, and adopted their habits. Animals populated human myths, and people traced their origins back to them. Gradually, humans discovered that some of these species could be domesticated and used for their own benefit. But what did this encounter with humans mean for nature? What did animals have to adapt to, and who failed to survive this new neighbor?
This fascinating book takes us on a journey to the origins of humanity, from Europe to Australia, to tell the story of the interaction between humans and animals.
