Synopsis
The fascinating science behind our bodies and behaviors and how they link us to our ancient ancestors. What makes us human is cause for surprise. We retain some of the appearances and behaviors of our very ancient ancestors, including early mammals, amphibians and fish. Yes, we look and act the way we do because of them. Totally Human explains the many puzzling and strange things about us and the weird and wonderful things we do, simply because we're human. A child-sized take on the scientific fields of evolutionary biology and psychology.

From Booklist
Why do you laugh and cry? Why do you burp and fart? Why do you see colors? This playful science book introduces the biology of human evolution and behavior with an accessible, interactive text packed with information and wry, bright computer graphics on each spread. The connections go back not only to the earliest humans but onward through time to bacteria and the first living things in our planets steamy swamps about 3,700 million years ago. Common human behavior, from hiccups to dreaming, began long ago. More recent human ancestors gave us the ability to cry, talk, sing, and crave French fries, and a large brain allowed humans to learn useful skills and transmit knowledge to trusted friends: social networking long before Facebook. The tone occasionally feels overcute, but the wild imagesfrom an ape in sunglasses to a three-headed girl (smiling, frowning, and crying)and the detailed text open up astonishing answers to questions readers might never have thought to ask. Grades 3-6. --Hazel Rochman
