How did our species, Homo sapiens, become what it is today ? How did our ancestors spread across the globe ? How did their bodies and minds evolve ?

The study of these fascinating questions has seen a veritable revolution in recent years : genome sequencing of ancient and extant humans, and their relatives, has revealed our evolutionary history in unprecedented detail and sheds light on how humans adapted ; new analyses of fossils and archaeology reveal what makes humans so unique.
