À propos de cet audio

Modern humans have come a long way in the 70,000 years they’ve walked the earth. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we’re true winners. But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we’ve managed to truly f--k things up.

Weaving together history, science, politics, and pop culture, Humans offers a panoramic exploration of humankind in all its glory, or lack thereof. From Lucy, our first ancestor, who fell out of a tree and died, to General Zhou Shou of China, who stored gunpowder in his palace before a lantern festival, to the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the most spectacular fails of the present day, Humans reveals how even the most mundane mistakes can shift the course of civilization as we know it.

Lively, wry, and brimming with brilliant insight, this unique compendium offers a fresh take on world history and is one of the most entertaining listens of the year.

History repeats itself, and it looks like it will again.
They say, if you continue to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results...well you know the rest, or do we?😸😹😹

The book was informative and humorous at times. Makes you think. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about our weird history and have more insight about our dumbasses. 8.5/10

Informative, humorous

I expected this book would provide a thoughtful analysis of mistakes made by humans and how we can improve decision making and history. Instead it was just a silly compilation of many obscure figures of history who did laughably bad things. I learned nothing. And the author tried too hard to be cute and funny with writing style and with unnecessary and irritating profanity.

Irritating book
