So let's join palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi as she embarks on a funny and fascinating voyage of discovery - from the handshake's origins (at least seven million years ago) all the way to its sudden disappearance in March 2020. Drawing on new research, anthropological insights and first-hand experience, she'll reveal how this most friendly of gestures has played a role in everything from meetings with uncontacted tribes to political assassinations - and what it tells us about the enduring power of human contact.
Because the story of the handshake ... is far from over.

“A fabulously sparky, wide-ranging and horizon-broadening little study ... joyously unboring” SUNDAY TIMES©2022 Ella Al-Shamahi (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd
