This presents a particular problem: the specialists who interpret and narrate the evolution of our lineage are also human. Paradoxically, this reality is profoundly stimulating, as prejudices and interests are often treated as taboos, shunned by administrations, universities, and publishing houses. Writing about this subject in the face of widespread informational distortions is therefore a bold and timely endeavour. As Einstein famously noted, it is a sad epoch when It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.
