Origin of Man

A popular science book about anthropology for children. Masha is eleven and Max is nine. They intend to become super-popular science bloggers, win a competition for the best children's science channel, and go on a real excavation.

The children start a channel on YouTube - Science Ninjas, where they talk about scientific discoveries and facts, and at the same time find out for themselves: .

• Where did man come from?

• Why don’t monkeys turn into people now?

• Where did monkeys come from? They didn’t come from dinosaurs, did they? And from whom?

• Why did some monkeys become people, while others remained gorillas and apes?

• When and how did the monkey become a man?

If you want to laugh heartily and understand anthropogenesis, this book is what you need!
