This book will change how you see the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This book is quite literally wonderful' ED CONWAY'A wild ride' TIM HARFORD'A gripping, red-blooded narrative from a master storyteller' JO MARCHANT\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43291807252524,"sku":"9781529925531","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781529925531_b07c652f-fbc8-49f7-8ca5-76400dd8612d.jpg?v=1759666485","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781529925531","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
