Description:
In this captivating bestseller, Korea™s first paleoanthropologist offers fresh insights into humanity™s dawn and evolution.
What can fossilized teeth tell us about the life expectancy of our ancient ancestors? How did farming play a problematic role in the history of human evolution? How can simple geometric comparisons of skull and pelvic fossils suggest a possible origin to our social nature? And what do we truly have in common with the Neanderthals? In this captivating international bestseller, Close Encounters with Humankind, Korea™s first paleoanthropologist, Sang-Hee Lee, explores some of our greatest evolutionary questions from new and unexpected angles
Through a series of entertaining, bite-sized chapters, we gain fresh perspectives into our first hominin ancestors and ways to challenge perceptions about the traditional progression of evolution. By combining anthropological insight with exciting, cutting-edge research, Lee™s surprising conclusions shed new light on our beginnings and connect us to a faraway past. For example, our big brains may have served to set our species apart and spur our societal development, but perhaps not in the ways we have often assumed. And it™s possible that the Neanderthals, our infamous ancestors, were not the primitive beings portrayed by twentieth-century science. With Lee as our guide, we discover that from our first steps on two feet to our first forays into toolmaking and early formations of community, we have always been a species of continuous change.
Close Encounters with Humankind is the perfect read for anyone curious

Smaller than expected
Color: Black Oval
The tray looks nice and the hook design is convenient, but the hook itself doesn't feel very sturdy. I also expected the tray to be larger. It still works for holding keys and small items, but I wish it were a bit stronger and bigger.

Cute Key Holder
Color: Black Round
Needed a key holder, stumbled across this and it’s really perfect for an entryway table. You can toss other stuff at the bottom you may need when you leave the house which I love. It goes well with our decor as well. It’s a cool idea for a key holder. It’s sturdy as well.

If you have food odors get the Smoke filter
Color: White, Color: White
This completely stopped the downstairs tenants cooking odors from smelling up my upstairs studio apartment. No smells at all!
I live in a two story home where the downstairs is rented and my upstairs studio is my rental and we share a kitchen that's adjacent to the stairway that takes me upstairs to my home.
For 6 years I have had to smell their food cooking. It's over powering and my curtains and bedding and living space smells like broccoli, garlic and burned out toasted cooking odors... opening my windows just draws more of the smell up to my space.
My studio is 20x30 and the stairway. I was desperate and this was advertised as a lightning deal. I bought the smoke/smell filter option.
It's was real easy to set up; ask I had to do it that the sealed bag off the filter and plug it in. There was already the smell of their dinner in my space when I set it up and I was expecting it to help eliminate or reduce the smell that was lingering but it didn't.
I'm the morning my space was fresh: so fresh it almost felt cool and breezy.
I've been running non stop since I plugged it in the first night and ALL SMELL IS GONE and STAYS GONE!
They had friends over. So I go through the kitchen to go outside as to not bother them in their living room. The kitchen smelled wonderful with all kinds of food including chicken wings they had delivered... their space of like a fast food restaurant.
I came back a half hour later, walked through their kitchen that's was still overwhelming incredible party food smells and went up to my space through the upstairs stairway just off our shared kitchen.
My space HAD NO SMELLS AT ALL! It was completely fresh. It the very top of my stairway you could smell the kitchen but I'm my studio space I couldn't smell anything.
I think ... When I first plugged it in that first evening the dust in my studio had smells trapped to them. Overnight that first night, the dust was removed so all the residual smell was cleaned out too. There's no dust anywhere in my space and it was crazy dusty especially the hallway to the stairwell.
No dust. No smells. And it's VERY quiet. when it on high speed and TV is on you can't hear it at all and it doesn't interfere with the TV sound: I don't have to turn TV up because it's that quiet. I have a white noise machine to block out the traffic noise and thev sound of this air cleaner is quieter than that even when it's on high speed: it's a very soothing sound
I bought two replacement filters. Each one is suppose to last about 2 months.
The fan has 3 speeds and the low is really nothing and it sounds like it's off but it does still move a lot of air. I leave it in the medium. I read online that high speed can actually work against the filtering is it's in a small space because of the air movement blows the room air around too much. I just keep it on medium until bed and then I put it on low.
It does have a sleep setting and timer and a child lock but I'm not using those functions at all.
The blue glow light is not a problem at all I'm fact the glow is so low I use it for the hall night light and I removed the night light I had plugged into the hallway outlet. I'm extremely pleased I'm actually over joyed with it
My curtains, bedding, furniture, clothes and bathroom towels are FRESH and SMELL FREE.
I highly recommend this air cleaner fg it's amazingly effective. It's so small and light that you could move it anywhere but I've found the sweet spot just at the top of the stairway in the hall to my studio... life is all mine again without anyone's life stinking up mine.
They are actually ordering one now two because the fellow downstairs needed to get to the attic. He came up and actually said wow it's so fresh up here; did you have the windows open all day. I said no it's too cold you do that but I did get this air cleaner. They'll get it tomorrow!
