Description
The audiobook’s content covers the history of the development of cultures—from the first harvest to the formation of states. Lewis Darnell, a professor of biological sciences, studies the influence of the natural environment on human history.
He argues that geological processes in East Africa stimulated human evolution, and the abundance of mountainous landscapes contributed to the emergence of democracy in Ancient Greece. The author is convinced that the history of humankind is inseparably connected with the history of the Earth, climate change, and geographic features.
He reveals interconnections between the Himalayas, Earth’s orbit, and the formation of the British Isles, drawing parallels between the planet’s past and the modern world.
