"A research that breaks down the established perceptions of the earthly history from the appearance of human and the birth of language till nowadays. In the book, you will not see boring chronology lines or dry dates, instead, together with the author, you will reflect on the numerous "why?’s": Why did the homo sapiens get a chance for the future? Why did the transition to agriculture deteriorate their life? What is "the gossip theory"? What do religion and ideology have in common? How are Christianity and Buddhism different? How did money and loans become one of the key driving forces of civilization? Why do ruined empires still rule the mankind?" Translated from English by Yaroslav Lebedenko
