A dazzling follow-up to Life As Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal.
‘We would love to discover that each species has a biological
clock in its cells, because, if that clock existed and if we were
able to find it, perhaps we could stop it and thus become
eternal,’ Arsuaga tells Millás in this book, in which science is
intertwined with literature. The paleontologist reveals essential
aspects of our existence to the writer, who discovers that old age
is a country in which he still feels like a foreigner. After the
extraordinary international reception of Life as Told by a Sapiens
to a Neanderthal, the most brilliant double act in Spanish
literature once again dazzle the reader by addressing topics such
as death and eternity, longevity, disease, ageing, natural
selection, programmed death, and survival. Here you will find
humour, biology, nature, life, a lot of life … and two
fascinating characters, the Sapiens and the Neanderthal, who
surprise us on every page with their sharp reflections on how
evolution has treated us as a species. And also as individuals.
