What they discover is beyond anything they ever imagined: the twelve-million-year-old bones of Danuvius guggenmosi make headlines around the world. This ancient ape defies prevailing theories of human history—his skeletal adaptations suggest a new common ancestor between apes and humans, one that dwelled in Europe, not Africa. Might the great apes that travelled from Africa to Europe before Danuvius's time be the key to understanding our own origins?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll this and more is explored in \u003ci\u003eAncient Bones\u003c\/i\u003e.
