Summary
Paleontologists are a contentious lot. Consider the simple question “How many species are there in the genus Homo?” Paleontologists cannot agree. When it comes to more complicated problems all hell breaks loose. Why did the traits that most characterize our species evolve? What drove the evolution of big brains? Of hairlessness? Of language and pair bonding? Ask 10 paleontologists and you will get 10 answers.
