Homo sapiens. The History of Humanity: Brief and Fascinating
18 hrs. 45 min.
Description
How did humankind come to be?
The origins of Homo sapiens have been the subject of scientific debate for many years. Why did our distant ancestor decide that a sedentary way of life was preferable to a nomadic one?
How did people manage to breed and improve plants long before the very concept of “genetics” even existed?
And today, many of these questions still do not have a single, definitive answer.
But this book offers an exciting journey from deep antiquity to the 18th century—an era when the world began to take on familiar shapes.
You will learn about likely human predecessors, move through different historical and cultural eras, and discover:
– whether the human mind is a random product of evolution;
– what mysteries are hidden behind the great structures of the ancient world;
– whether Ancient Rome could have avoided falling to the onslaught of barbarians;
– how the emperors of China and Russia ruled;
– why the world’s population is growing and people’s lives are becoming richer and more secure;
– what the historical roots of the key trends of today are based on…
…And much more.
