In 150,000 years, humanity has come a long way. This book sets out to trace that journey with rigor. From the birth of great religions and the rise and fall of empires to the inventions and paradigm shifts in how we think, govern, and produce, this work is based on the latest historical and archaeological research. Cyril Aydon focuses on the ideas and innovations that shaped the modern world, rather than the minutiae of conventional history. The author takes the reader across the globe, examining shared ancestry and common experiences, highlighting how our resilient ancestors survived wars, famines, and plagues to evolve into the societies we know today. Finally, Aydon brings the history up to the present day, addressing the pressing issues we all face, including whether climate change will be the challenge that gets the better of Homo sapiens.
