Homo Sapiens. An Illustrated History of Intelligence

What makes us Homo sapiens? How did our species manage to evolve enough to dominate the Earth, create civilization, and even conquer space? Which individuals were behind the greatest breakthroughs in the history of our thinking? In this book, philosopher José Antonio Marina tells the astonishing story of the development of human intelligence from cave paintings to neural networks. From Antiquity to the modern era, from Aristotle and Plato to Darwin and Einstein – the author shows how the ideas of individual Homo sapiens shaped the worldview of all civilization. This book, accompanied by vivid illustrations from Markus Karus, is not only a history of our past but also a guide to understanding our present and – most importantly – our future.
