The Botanics of the Anthropologist. How Plants Created Humans. Goodness Gracious

Imagine that the history of humanity is just a few last pages in a thick book written... by plants. After all, it is they who created the air we breathe, the soil we walk on, and the climate we live... in.
This book is an exhilarating investigation conducted by an anthropologist, showing that our fate for millions of years has been closely linked to the world of flora.
After reading it, you will never again walk past a common blade of grass without remembering that it and its kind are the true masters of this planet. Because plants can live without us, but we cannot live without them).
Additionally, in this book you will:
- be able to look at the history of the Earth and humankind from a completely new, "plant" perspective;
- understand how an invisible botanical revolution shapes our lives today—from the food on our plate to climate change;
- discover whether it is true that a banana is a berry while a strawberry is not, and how a sloth befriends algae.
