520    A thrilling new account of human origins, as told by the 
       paleontologist who led the most groundbreaking dig in 
       recent history.-- Somewhere west of Munich, Madelaine 
       Böhme and her colleagues dig for clues to the origins of 
       humankind. What they discover is beyond anything they 
       imagined: the fossilized bones of Danuvius guggenmosi 
       ignite a global media frenzy. This ancient ancestor defies
       our knowledge of human history--his nearly twelve-million-
       year-old bones were not located in Africa--the so-called 
       birthplace of humanity--but in Europe, and his features 
       suggest we evolved much differently than scientists once 
       believed.In prose that reads like a gripping detective 
       novel, Ancient Bones interweaves the story of the dig that
       changed everything with the fascinating answer to a 
       previously undecided and now pressing question: How, 
       exactly, did we become human? Placing Böhme's discovery 
       alongside former theories of human evolution, the authors 
       show how this remarkable find (and others in Eurasia) are 
       forcing us to rethink the story we've been told about how 
       we came to be, a story that has been our guiding narrative
       --until now.
