Wentzel van Huyssteen develops the interdisciplinary dialogue that he set out in \u003ci\u003eThe Shaping of Rationality\u003c\/i\u003e (1999), applying this methodology to the uncharted waters between theological anthropology and paleoanthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Among other things, van Huyssteen argues that scientific notions of human uniqueness help us to ground theological notions of human distinctiveness in flesh-and-blood, embodied experiences and protect us from overly complex theological abstractions regarding the \"image of God.\" Focusing on the interdisciplinary problem of human origins and distinctiveness, van Huyssteen accesses the origins of the embodied human mind through the spectacular prehistoric cave paintings of western Europe, fifteen of which are reproduced in color in this volume. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Boldly connecting the widely separated fields of Christian theology and paleoanthropology through careful interdisciplinary reflection, \u003ci\u003eAlone in the World?\u003c\/i\u003e will encourage sustained investigation into the question of human uniqueness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ.
