This week's #NewBooks at the library: Who is excited about the next few books he will be reviewing?

- After an impressive debut, I am looking forward to reading Cal Flyn's second book, The Savage Landscape: How We Made the Wilderness, published by HarperCollins.

- Time for another deep dive into the history of my favourite discipline, #EvolutionaryBiology. I really enjoyed Costa's annotated version of Wallace's notebook, and am very excited about delving into this annotated version of #CharlesDarwin's The Descent of Man, beautifully published here by @princetonupress. Expect me to go dark for a while, it's over 760 pages!

- And for context, I will be adding a review of Jeremy DeSilva's A Most Interesting Problem: What #Darwin’s Descent of Man Got Right and Wrong about #HumanEvolution, published a few years back, also by Princeton.

New evolutionary data reveals human carpal bones didn't diverge from knuckle-walking ancestors—they were built directly on top of those traits.

Eastern Africa’s first herders had cattle 5,000 years ago — and kept fishing, hunting, and foraging for 1,000 years after. New isotopic data from 111 individuals shows why the “food production revolution” was anything but sudden. #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-thousand-year-hedge

TITLE: Scientists think they’ve cracked the mystery of human right-handedness

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260517211429.htm

A new study suggests humans became overwhelmingly right-handed because of two major evolutionary shifts: walking on two legs and developing much larger brains. Researchers found that as human ancestors evolved, their right-hand preference steadily intensified — transforming a mild tendency into one of humanity’s most distinctive traits.

TITLE: Why Are 90% of People Right-Handed, Whereas Other Primates Aren't?

It is one of the strangest puzzles in human evolution: About 90% of people across every human culture favor their right hand—with no other primate species showing a population-level preference on this scale. Despite decades of research, the mystery of right-handedness has remained unsolved. Now, a new study suggests that the answer comes down to two features of human evolution—walking on two legs, and the dramatic expansion of the human brain.

Stunning fossil discovery in Ethiopia rewrites human origins.
Ancient fossil teeth from Ethiopia reveal that multiple human ancestor species were sharing the landscape nearly 3 million years ago.
