A mind-expanding, revolutionary journey across time that shows how our biology has determined human history for the first time. This book will change how you see the world.
We?re a wonder of evolution, capable of incredible feats. But we?re also deeply flawed. Our bodies and minds often break, fail, and hinder us. To be human is to live with this extraordinary contradiction. So, to understand the course humanity has taken ? from prehistoric times through the age of empire and into the modern era ? we must understand who, and what, we are.
