What kind of being is a human being? If we don't know who we are, how do we know how to act? This is the starting point of Charles Foster's new intellectual adventure, which invites us on a forty-thousand-year journey to the origins of modern consciousness.
He sets out on an expedition to discover the causes and conditions of their appearance, somewhere during the Upper Paleolithic, revealing their characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.Far from being a dry, dry essay, Charles Foster's text, infused with a typical British humour that is sometimes pungent, is distinguished by its literary quality and deep philosophical and existential dimension.
This is a living experience stemming from a meditation in which the author did not hesitate to place himself in the place of a prehistoric hunter-gatherer or one of the first British farmers of antiquity. We the Humans is an important text that questions the foundations of our common humanity, its history, and its evolution over time. It's a useful awakening in thisthe twenty-first century that is getting increasingly turbulent and confused.
