"Wise and loving," an acclaimed author "helps us see as these gentle people do and takes us with her through their endangered, fragile environment" (
Publishers Weekly, starred review).
One of our most influential anthropologists reevaluates her long and illustrious career by returning to her roots-and the roots of life as we know it
When Elizabeth Marshall Thomas first arrived in Africa to live among the Kalahari San, or bushmen, it was 1950, she was nineteen years old, and these last surviving hunter-gatherers were living as humans had lived for 15,000 centuries. Thomas wound up writing about their world in a seminal work,
The Harmless People (1959). It has never gone out of print.
After a lifetime of interest in the bushmen, Thomas has come to see that their lifestyle reveals great, hidden truths about human evolution.
As she displayed in her bestseller,
The Hidden Life of Dogs, Thomas has a rare gift for giving voice to the voices we don't usually listen to. In
The Old Way, she shows how the skills and customs of the hunter-gatherer share much in common with the survival tactics of our animal predecessors, helping us to see how linked we are to our origins in the animal kingdom.
The Old Way is a rare and remarkable achievement, sure to stir up controversy, and worthy of celebration.
"Brilliantly conceived, wise and hauntingly vivid....
The Old Way is a deeply felt, deeply observed masterpiece." -Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, author of
Mother Nature: A History of Mothers, Infants and Natural Selection
"The owner's manual we need for humankind." -Sy Montgomery, author of
The Snake Scientist
