Humans: A Brief History Of How We F*Cked It All Up

'This book is brilliant. Utterly, utterly brilliant. Apart from the epilogue, which is idiotic' Jeremy Clarkson

'F*cking brilliant' Sarah Knight

AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY THROUGH THE MOST CREATIVE AND CATASTROPHIC F*CK-UPS OF HUMAN HISTORY

In the seventy thousand years that modern human beings have walked this earth, we've come a long way. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we're real winners. But, frankly, it's not exactly been plain sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to really, truly, quite unbelievably f*ck things up.

From Chairman Mao's Four Pests Campaign, to the American Dustbowl; from the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the world's leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's pretty safe to say that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown wiser with age.

So, next time you think you've really f*cked up, this book will remind you: it could be so much worse...


FURTHER PRAISE FOR HUMANS:


'Very funny' Mark Watson

'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong... Both readable and entertaining' The Telegraph

'Chronicles humanity's myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit ... a rib-tickling page-turner' Business Standard

'A timely, irreverent gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity'
Nicholas Griffin, Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Secret History Behind the Game That Changed the World

'Tom Phillips has proven beyond a doubt that humans are goddamn lucky to be here and are doing nearly nothing to remain relevant and viable as a species - except, that is, for writing witty, entertaining, and slightly distressing-but-ultimately-endearing books about same. And if you care to avoid orbiting the earth in a space-garbage prison of your fellow humans' design, you should probably read it' - The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck

'In dark times, it's reassuring to learn that we've always been a bunch of clueless f*cking nitwits' - Don't Be a Dick, Pete

'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong... Both readable and entertaining' - Telegraph

'Tom Phillips is a very clever, very funny man, and it shows. If Sapiens was a testament to human sophistication, this history of failure cheerfully reminds us that humans are mostly idiots' - A Million Years and a Day

'Chronicles humanity's myriad follies down the ages with malicious glee and much wit . . . a rib-tickling page-turner' - Business Standard

'Humans is Tom Phillips' timely, irreverent gallop through thousands of years of human stupidity. Every time you begin to find our foolishness bizarrely comforting, Phillips adds another kick in the ribs. Beneath all this book's laughter is a serious question: where does so much serial stupidity take us?' - Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Secret History Behind the Game That Changed the World

'From the book's goofy 'censored' title . . . you might get the impression that Humans is a jokey, bathroom-style compendium, but that would be a mistake. Phillips is hilarious and breezily readable, but he knows his sh*t, and his book is backed by mountains of research.' - Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB)

Different package
I have been using this product for almost two years, and I absolutely love it, especially because I have very dry skin. It leaves my skin feeling extremely soft and well-moisturized even the next day. Over time, I also noticed that my dark spots started to fade. It is a great product, but it does take time to see results with dark spots. Yesterday, I ordered the same body lotion, but it arrived with a different packaging and formula. I was afraid it might affect the progress I’ve made with my skin, so I returned it and requested the original version I’ve been using.

Scent is off putting.
Seems to be a nice lotion but for me, the aroma is off putting. That makes it hard for me to use on a consistent basis. It is moisturizing and not greasy. It absorbs well into my skin. I wish it were fragrance free. My spots are still with me but that’s my fault.

Get the combo!
Mix these 2 together and thank me later. I wish i had done before and after pics but this combo lightened my knee caps, underarms and bikini area so fast! I haven’t used deodorant in 3 days because of the lotion! It’s that effective I’m about to order 4 more bottles
