A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mankind's principle concern is to make the world as comfortable for itself as possible. And having been dominated by nature for thousands of years we now degrade and dominate fellow men and nature in return. The Human Reality details how we got into this terrible state.

Towards the end of the Ice Age, hunter-gatherers, who lived in harmony with nature and with each other, underwent a catastrophic and humiliating re-evolution into sedentary farmers. We have lived in opposition to nature ever since, shutting out wilderness and becoming societies under siege, with damaged psyches and physiques.

In The Human Reality, Peter Prew argues that unless we begin to return the land to hunter-gatherer peoples, we face destruction. This is an immensely ambitious, eloquent book that offers a challenge to every thinking person. It shows us who and what we really are, where we have come from, and why, and where we are really going.

An ambitious reassessment of the evolution of mankind - reprinted in February 2010 by popular demand.
