BEING HUMAN - LEWIS DARTNELL KARTONIERT (TB)

Being 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  we are expert communicators and
innovators. Our exceptional abilities have created the civilisation we know today. But we're
also deeply flawed. Our bodies break  choke and fail  whether we're kings or peasants. Diseases
thwart our boldest plans. Our psychological biases have been at the root of terrible decisions
in both war and peacetime. This extraordinary contradiction is the essence of what it means to
be human - the sum total of our frailties and our faculties. And history has played out in the
balance between them. Now  for the first time  Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens
of this unique  capricious and fragile nature. He explores how our biology has shaped our
relationships  our societies  our economies and our 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
