Maximilian Werner 
Evolved [EPUB ebook] 
Chronicles of a Pleistocene Mind

支持

‘Werner’s prose is compelling, his natural history is thoroughly engaging, and his line of curious inquiry is an admirable attempt to better understand humanity and its changing relationship with the external world.’
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
How did you choose your home? What side of the bed do you sleep on? Could you be like a spider? In this memoir–infused exploration of evolutionary theory, Maximilian Werner shows how our Pleistocene instincts inform our everyday decisions and behaviors in a fresh and friendly modern–day
Walden.
