Anthropologist Answers Evolution Questions

Anthropologist Agustín Fuentes joins WIRED to answer the internet’s burning questions about human evolution. Are humans still evolving? Was there a first human? What does the family tree leading to humans look like? Is monogamy in human relationships natural or something society imposes? Did early people really live in caves? Who invented kissing? Were the Neanderthals stronger than us? Why didn’t other human-like species survive? Answers to these questions and many more await on Human Evolution Support.
