Aprašymas
'Illuminating' TIM MARSHALL'A gripping, red-blooded narrative from a master storyteller' JO MARCHANT'Refreshing' THOMAS HALLIDAY'A wild ride' TIM HARFORDBeing Human is history made flesh. It will change the way you see the world.We are a wonder of evolution. Powerful yet dextrous, instinctive yet thoughtful, our exceptional abilities have created life as we know it. But we're also deeply flawed. Our bodies break and fail, diseases thwart our boldest plans, and our psychological biases have triggered terrible decisions.This extraordinary contradiction between our faculties and frailties is the essence of what it means to be human. And history has played out in the balance between them. Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens of this uniquely fragile nature for the first time. He explores how our biology has shaped our relationships, societies, economies and wars, and how it continues to challenge and define our progress.Praise for Lewis Dartnell's Origins and The Knowledge:'Stands comparison with Yuval Harari's Sapiens ... A thrilling piece of big history' Sunday Times on Origins'The most inspiring book I've read for a long time' Independent on The Knowledge
