Warmer temperatures. Fires in the Amazon. Superstorms. These are just some of the effects of climate change that we are already experiencing. The good news is that we can all do something about it. A movement is already underway to combat not only the environmental effects of climate change but also to fight for climate justice and make a fair and livable future possible for everyone.

Přehledná a provokativní kniha významného zoologa a fyziologa, oceněná cenou za popularizaci, odhaluje základy lidské civilizace. Přestože my lidé sdílíme 98 % genů společně se šimpanzi, vyvinuli jsme se do něčeho podstatně odlišného. Autor hledá odpověď na to, jak nám ona 2 % našich genů umožnila vyvinout civilizaci, náboženství, rozvinout složité jazyky, umění a vědu - a nabýt schopnost zničit všechny tyto vymoženosti ze dne na den. Srovnává unikátní vlastnosti lidské kultury s analogickými jevy u ostatních živočichů a pokouší se najít ekologické příčiny jejich vzniku.
