The Accidental Species
Book • 2013
In 'The Accidental Species', Henry Gee argues that human evolution is not a predestined progression but an unplanned outcome influenced by chance.
He examines features like bipedality, technology, brain size, intelligence, language, and sentience, showing they are not unique to humans.
The book aims to overturn popular thinking on human evolution by highlighting our links to the animal world rather than what distinguishes us.
