À propos de ce contenu audio

 The Development of an Extraordinary Species
We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet -- having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art -- while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world . . . and the means to irrevocably destroy it.

Le plus pertinent
The past of humans is analysed through a very smart and well explained set of arguments, enriched with a lot of concurrent visions' critics. What's more, the analysis of the problems to come for our species and their causes is also extremely coherent : in fact I feel like Jared Diamond had already understood all the aspects of humanity's self destruction capacity in 1992. One thing is for sure : every person that has interest for humanity's history and pre-history should read this book. I recommand it unconditionnaly.

An exceptionnaly clever vision of humans
