First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human

byJeremy DeSilva

In First Steps, Jeremy DeSilva presents a historical account centered on how Upright Walking Made Us Human. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
