Krátky popis
We like to think of ourselves as exceptional beings, but is there
really anything special about us that sets us apart from other
animals? Humans are the slightest of twigs on a single family tree
that encompasses four billion years, a lot of twists and turns, and
a billion species. All of those organisms are rooted in a single
origin, with a common code that underwrites our existence. This
paradox - that our biology is indistinct from all life, yet we
consider ourselves to be special - lies at the heart of who we are.
In this original and entertaining tour of life on Earth, Adam
Rutherford explores how many of the things once considered to be
exclusively human are not: we are not the only species that
communicates, makes tools, utilises fire, or has sex for reasons
other than to make new versions of ourselves.Evolution has,
however, allowed us to develop our culture to a level of complexity
that outstrips any other observed in nature. THE BOOK OF HUMANS
tells the story of how we became the creatures we are today,
bestowed with the unique ability to investigate what makes us who
we are. Illuminated by the latest scientific discoveries, it is a
thrilling compendium of what unequivocally fixes us as animals, and
reveals how we are extraordinary among them.With illustrations by
