Pandora's Seed

Más información sobre el libro

The shift from hunter-gatherer societies to farming ten thousand years ago transformed human life, but it also introduced significant drawbacks, as explored by geneticist and anthropologist Spencer Wells. This transition led to increased sedentism, health issues, and overpopulation, resulting in social hierarchies and inequalities. The pressure to work replaced the freedom of movement, contributing to modern anxiety. Wells offers a hopeful perspective on how to adapt our lifestyles to better align with our innate needs, making this an insightful read for those interested in history and future implications.
