Reviews

“Collins and Little are the perfect team to address one of humanity’s greatest enigmas. . . . From giant skeletons to the mysterious mound builders of ancient America, this team assembles the lost pieces of the human time line.”
*Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, award-winning New York Times bestselling author and documentary film director*

“Andrew Collins and Greg Little are two of the most respected writers in the ancient mysteries subject. They team up to provide a comprehensive account of the enigmatic Denisovans and their impact on the emergence of modern human society. If they are correct in their findings, as I very much suspect they are, then they have discovered a missing chapter in our knowledge of the emergence of civilization, both in the ancient world and--as I put forward in my own book America Before--in the Americas.”
*Graham Hancock, author of the New York Times bestseller America Before*

"Tracing the migrations of the Denisovans and their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, the authors explore how the new mental capabilities of the Denisovan-Neanderthal and Denisovan-human hybrids greatly accelerated the flowering of human civilisation over 40,000 years ago. They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision machined stone tools and jewellery, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication. Without early human's hybridisation with Denisovans, Neanderthals, and other yet-to-bediscovered hominid populations, the modern world as we know it would not exist."
