Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up by Tom PhillipsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved how this book was written. Tom Phillips writes with such confidence and tells his points very bluntly - while being very entertaining and funny. I also like how the beginning of the book starts with creation and Lucy, and as the book goes on it discusses later things in history.
I marked it as a re-read because Tom Philips refers to things in history that I totally don't remember haha and he basically just discusses the things in history that we went wrong but I want the whole story.
You will think after this book that humans are really stupid but in fact Tom Phillips gas gathered all the really ridiculously stupid moments into one book. It's like calling humans totally stupid from reading the The Darwin Awards for all the stupid ways humans have died.
Are some of us very dumb? Yes.
Do the smart ones also have their moments of stupidity? Yes.
We're definitely not perfect.
But this book takes all those stupid moments and compiles it together.
So just remember that we're not THAT stupid and hopefully through history and through Tom Phillips writing about all the mistakes we can go forward and not makes the same mistakes again lol but... history repeats itself so *shrugs*
