Planet Earth News Presents: Super Humans

by Keltie Thomas, Greg Hall (Illustrations)

Aliens Lurk Under Your Skin! Mummies Swap Bandages for Plastic Wrap! Heads left spinning after the revelations in Nature Shockers will spin anew with these true tales of human achievements, eccentricities, and ingenuity. Peering deep into the past — right down to the first multi-cellular organism — Keltie Thomas exposes how adaptations over the millennia have made humans the “wise” ones of the animal kingdom. Blending science, history, physiology, and psychology with plenty of wacky humor, Super Humans is a child-friendly exposé of the wild world of Homo sapiens. Bonus features like “Hoax Buster” quizzes and “Fiction vs. Reality” sidebars add to the fun.
