Abstract

Since the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859 and The Descent of Man in 1871, two of Darwin’s major works, the scientific study of the evolution of the specific characteristics of humans has been the subject of great efforts from various areas of research. Today, after more than a Century, impressive results have accumulated on what may «make us human», separating us from from other primates, and how it may have evolved. In recent years a new area of research led, surprisingly, by economists, is starting to make important contributions in the study of human evolution.
