The award winning popular science book on human evolution Who Asked the First Question? Origins of Human Choral Singing, Intelligence, Language and Speech (2006) is dedicated to the memory of Alekseyev and his lifelong friend, Georgian anthropologist Malkhaz Abdushelishvili.[2] Scientific activityV.P. Alekseev (together with A.I. Pershits) is the author of the famous textbook for universities “The History of Primitive Society”, which has already passed 6 editions (the last one in 2007).
