So she tells us how they lived, treating them not as one of evolutionâs failures but as our close behavioral cousins.
âThe fate of the Neanderthals has monopolised enormous amounts of attention,â she writes, âyet it may be the least interesting thing about them.â

In the tough times of 2020, Iâve found myself drawn to nonfiction that made me look at the familiar in a different way. Iâve collected my favorite 15 books of the year here (technically, two were published in 2019, but I didnât get around to reading them until this year). The first 14 are in random order, followed by my pick for the best nonfiction book of the year.
Bonnie Tsui, âWhy We Swim.â So many of us are drawn to the water, for recreation, for beautiful vistas, for food. And then thereâs those who go to swim. In elegant prose, Tsui explores her own love of plunging into the water, and combines history, psychology, and interviews to explain the same emotion in others. Also, why humans are like salmon.
