Summary/Abstract: Gaia Vince delves into the complex tapestry of human evolution. Rather than attributing our development solely to a cognitive revolution, the author presents a nuanced perspective, asserting that modern humans are the result of a sophisticated coevolution involving genes, environment, and culture over time. Through a compelling narrative, Gaia Vince elucidates how these elements have triggered a compound process, propelling humanity from primitive origins to the technological wonders of the Space Age and beyond. The book is a provocative and poetic exploration of how humans, through a unique interplay of factors, asserted their dominance over nature and transformed themselves into something extraordinary.
