A Radical Shift in Perspective

Bregman fearlessly confronts some of the most deeply ingrained beliefs about human nature. Armed with compelling evidence and gripping anecdotes, he dismantles the myth of universal greed and violence, painting a refreshingly optimistic portrait of our capacity for cooperation, empathy, and resilience.

By exploring historical events, psychological experiments, and anthropological studies, he unravels the complex interplay between our evolved instincts and the social structures we create, revealing a far more nuanced and hopeful picture of our species.

A Call for a Better Future

"Humankind" is not merely a historical analysis; it is a clarion call for a better future.
