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
