Just 28,000 years ago, the blink of an eye in geological time, the last of Neanderthals died out in their last outpost, in caves near Gibraltar. Thanks to cartoons and folk accounts we have a distorted view of these other humans - for that is what they were.

Swiping their grocery club’s loyal-customer card has become second nature to shoppers these days. "Scoring Points" is one of the seminal marketing books of the last decade, telling the story of how British supermarket chain Tesco conceived, launched and developed its hugely successful Clubcard program -- and transformed itself into a winning brand. Authors Clive Humby and Terry Hunt, two major influences behind the project, and Tim Phillips, a leading business writer and broadcaster, bring a compelling, behind-the-scenes account of Clubcard -- the successes, failures and lessons learned.
