Humanos : Una breve historia de cómo la hemos pifiado

During the seventy thousand years that modern humans have inhabited this planet, we have come a long way. In "Humans", historian Tom Phillips offers a panoramic exploration of humanity in all its glory (and, of course, all its blunders), revealing how even the most mundane mistakes changed the course of civilization as we know it. From Lucy, our earliest ancestor, who fell out of a tree, broke her arm, and died, to the Chinese emperor Zhengde, who stockpiled gunpowder in his palace before a lantern festival, to the Austrian army, which attacked itself in a drunken stupor, this unique, funny, ironic, and insightful compendium offers a fresh perspective on human history, brimming with curiosities and, naturally, humor.
