With an original and humorous approach to life on Earth, Adam Rutherford explores a series of characteristics once considered exclusively human, but which we now know are not: many animals make and use tools to facilitate their daily activities; Australian kestrels pick up burning twigs from forest fires and purposefully drop them on patches of dry grass, creating new fires that trigger frantic evacuations of prey on which they feast; dolphins have been observed adopting habits through cultural transmission; non-reproductive sex certainly occupies a large portion of the interest and time of many humans, but that doesn't make us unique: bonobos are even more motivated, having sex several times a day, with different partners, including the same gender; Monkeys are capable of learning sign language, and the FOXP2 gene, known as the \"language gene,\" is also not exclusive to humans, being present in the DNA of songbirds and even mice. Evolution, however, has allowed us to develop our culture at a level of complexity that surpasses anything observed in nature. In The Book of Humans, Rutherford analyzes the similarities and differences between us and other animals when it comes to genetic code, speech, cognitive abilities, and even the concept of regret, and tells the story of how we became the creatures we are today. Illuminated by the latest scientific discoveries, this work is a thrilling compendium of what unequivocally characterizes us as animals and, at the same time, reveals how extraordinary we are.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176825307388,"sku":"9788501116925","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/e11557016f2c5a1974ee058b9d34cfb4.jpg?v=1776892521"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/adam-rutherford.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
