À propos de cet audio

 In this Hugo-nominated novel, Neanderthal physicist Ponter Boddit brings Canadian geneticist Mary Vaughan back to his world to explore the near-utopian civilization of the Neanderthals. Boddit serves as a Candide figure, the naive visitor whose ignorance about our society makes him a perfect tool to analyze human tendencies toward violence, over-population, and environmental degradation. The Neanderthals have developed a highly artistic, ethical, and scientific culture without ever inventing farming - they're still hunters and gatherers - and this allows the author to make some interesting and generally unrecognized points about the downside of the discovery of agriculture.

BONUS AUDIO: Author Robert J. Sawyer explains why one particular chapter of Humans is his very favorite.

Ce que les critiques en disent

The encounter between two human species raises many new insights into both. An enjoyable read throughout.

Fascinating Sociological Theory

Humans has the same interest of the first book and the same pitfalls. Every reference to Canada comes across as a stage prop as opposed to an opportunity to embellish and illuminate. Place names mispronounced en mass.

I’m surprised the author supports this.

Still slaying every Canadianism… 😡👎🏼
