Three
important revolutions shaped the course of history: the Cognitive Revolution
kick-started history about 70,000 years ago.
The Agricultural Revolution sped it up about 12,000 years ago. The Scientific Revolution, which got under
way only 500 years ago, may well end history and start something completely
different. This book tells the story of
how these three revolutions have affected humans and their fellow organisms.
