Homo Sapiens
The History of Humanity and the Development of Civilization
William Potter
Über dieses Buch
In just a blink of geological time, the human species spread out from Africa and colonised every corner of the globe, and subjugated the new environments they came across to their will. How did humanity become so dominant so quickly? And what did they then do with this new power? Homo Sapiens tells the story of the species from its earliest evolutions through the development of the first civilizations up to the industrial and information revolutions that have shaped the modern age. William Potter's thrilling new account asks us to reconsider our traditional notions of history by examining the power of the environment, the influence of language, the ideas that have transformed society, the power of transformative technology, and much, much more.Filled with beautiful full-colour illustrations throughout, Homo Sapiens presents the history of the species in a bold and brilliant new fashion.
