In this book, author Chris Gosden invites us to think about who we are by considering who we have been. Discover how, after Darwin, the study of life on Earth suddenly had to take account of a vast history of life that preceded it. What new views of humanity did this new time span trigger? What relationships did our distant ancestors have with the natural world, with each other, and with the objects they created? As humanity hurtles into a future of virtual interaction and genetic manipulation, what can the darkest recesses of our past teach us about our future?
