Humans: A Brief History Of How We F*Cked It All Up

'This book is brilliant. Utterly, utterly brilliant. Apart from the epilogue, which is idiotic' Jeremy Clarkson

'F*cking brilliant' Sarah Knight

AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY THROUGH THE MOST CREATIVE AND CATASTROPHIC F*CK-UPS OF HUMAN HISTORY

In the seventy thousand years that modern human beings have walked this earth, we've come a long way. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we're real winners. But, frankly, it's not exactly been plain sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to really, truly, quite unbelievably f*ck things up.

From Chairman Mao's Four Pests Campaign, to the American Dustbowl; from the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the world's leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's pretty safe to say that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown wiser with age.

So, next time you think you've really f*cked up, this book will remind you: it could be so much worse...


FURTHER PRAISE FOR HUMANS:


'Very funny' Mark Watson

'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong... Both readable and entertaining' The Telegraph

'Chronicles humanity's myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit ... a rib-tickling page-turner' Business Standard

'A timely, irreverent gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity'
Nicholas Griffin, Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Secret History Behind the Game That Changed the World

'Tom Phillips has proven beyond a doubt that humans are goddamn lucky to be here and are doing nearly nothing to remain relevant and viable as a species - except, that is, for writing witty, entertaining, and slightly distressing-but-ultimately-endearing books about same. And if you care to avoid orbiting the earth in a space-garbage prison of your fellow humans' design, you should probably read it' - The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck

'In dark times, it's reassuring to learn that we've always been a bunch of clueless f*cking nitwits' - Don't Be a Dick, Pete

'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong... Both readable and entertaining' - Telegraph

'Tom Phillips is a very clever, very funny man, and it shows. If Sapiens was a testament to human sophistication, this history of failure cheerfully reminds us that humans are mostly idiots' - A Million Years and a Day

'Chronicles humanity's myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit . . . a rib-tickling page-turner' - Business Standard

'Humans is Tom Phillips' timely, irreverent gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity. Every time you begin to find our foolishness bizarrely comforting, Phillips adds another kick in the ribs. Beneath all this book's laughter is a serious question: where does so much serial stupidity take us?' - Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Secret History Behind the Game That Changed the World

'From the book's goofy 'censored' title . . . you might get the impression that Humans is a jokey, bathroom-style compendium, but that would be a mistake. Phillips is hilarious and breezily readable, but he knows his sh*t, and his book is backed by mountains of research.' - Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB)

Light scent
The mojito scent is lighter than expected, end the lotion isn't as thick as others I've used, but my skin seems to like it. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin soft after a day at the pool.

Not only is this THE best face, hand, & body cream, it's incredibly inexpensive!
This cream is a miracle! I found using a small amount (pea-sized, max) on my face and it's lovely! Within a few minutes, my face is soft, smooth, neither sticky or greasy, nor is it dry. I LOVE it! It's also great on my hands (again, only a tiny bit--less than the "pea-sized" amount that I had I applied to my face.) If you find that your face feels greasy in a few minutes, that means you put too much on. It spreads well and easily, but keep it to a small amount. And for the price (approx. $5 per big tube!) it's the best bargain around! I even apply it around my eyes (not too close to the lash line; you don't want to get any IN your eyes.) Just the tender skin around outside your eyes, and that never stings or burns--this cream never hurts me anywhere I apply it.

Smooth and Soothing
Much nicer than you'd expect from the description (Beef tallow). This white, skin-friendly moisturizing cream is odorless and not greasy. It feels good on the skin and sinks in readily. I plan to buy this again.
