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.
