The selfish ape : human nature and our path to extinction
Money, Nicholas P.2019
Books
Weaving together stories of science and sociology, 'The Selfish Ape' offers a refreshing response to common fantasies about the ascent of humanity. Rather than imagining modern humans as a species with godlike powers, or Homo deus, Nicholas P. Money recasts us as Homo narcissus - paragons of self-absorption. This exhilarating story offers an immense sweep of modern biology, leading readers from earth's unexceptional location in the cosmos to the story of our microbial origins and the innerworkings of the human body.
