BEING HUMAN - LEWIS DARTNELL TASCHENBUCH

'Illuminating' TIM MARSHALL 'Refreshing' THOMAS HALLIDAY 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. Being Human is history made flesh. From the epidemic
that brought Europe's peasants freedom  to the health deficiency which gave rise to the world's
largest criminal organisation  to the cognitive biases that led to military catastrophes in
Crimea and Iraq  we see how our unique nature shaped our relationships  economies and societies
- and  importantly  how it continues to impact human progress today. 'This book is quite
literally wonderful' ED CONWAY 'A wild ride' TIM HARFORD 'A gripping  red-blooded narrative
from a master storyteller' JO MARCHANT
