Description or summary of the audiobook: This accessible, intelligent and page turning read sheds new light on how Neanderthals evolved and the origins of human behavior, uncovering what it means to be a modern human in the 21st century. Neanderthal Predation (NP) theory begins with a radical new assessment of Neanderthal behavioral ecology by pulling together new archaeological and genetic evidence, showing they weren't docile omnivores, but savage, cannibalistic carnivores - top flight predators of the stone age; Apex predators at the top of the food chain, and what happened next - when humans became prey. 'Danny Vendramini presents a truly unique and innovative picture of the role of Neandertal predation in human evolution...Vendramini pulls together countless different threads of scientific evidence to re-cast Neanderthals as 'apex predators,' proverbial 'wolves with knives' who were effective rivals with our ancestors.... It has been a long time since I read a book about human evolution that I enjoyed so much.' Associate Professor John J. Shea. Stony Brook University, New York.
