520    *NOW AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* "Witty and 
       entertaining." -- Sarah Knight "Laugh-out-loud." -- Steve 
       Brusatte AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY THROUGH THE MOST CREATIVE
       AND CATASTROPHIC F*CK-UPS OF HUMAN HISTORY Modern humans 
       have come a long way in the seventy thousand years they've
       walked the earth. Art, science, culture, trade -- on the 
       evolutionary food chain, we're true winners. But it hasn't
       always been smooth sailing, and sometimes -- just 
       occasionally -- we've managed to truly f*ck things up. 
       Weaving together history, science, politics and pop 
       culture, Humans offers a panoramic exploration of 
       humankind in all its glory, or lack thereof. From Lucy, 
       our first ancestor, who fell out of a tree and died, to 
       General Zhou Shou of China, who stored gunpowder in his 
       palace before a lantern festival, to the Austrian army 
       attacking itself one drunken night, to the most 
       spectacular fails of the present day, Humans reveals how 
       even the most mundane mistakes can shift the course of 
       civilization as we know it. Lively, wry and brimming with 
       brilliant insight, this unique compendium offers a fresh 
       take on world history and is one of the most entertaining 
       reads of the year.
