Story
D'Alexandre le Grand aux nouvelles Routes de la Soie, 2 500 ans d'histoire comme vous ne l'avez jamais lue. Avec son "histoire du cœur du monde", Peter Frankopan renverse notre récit traditionnel, qui gravite autour de la Grèce antique, de Rome et de l'irrésistible ascension de l'Occident. Une approche réductrice, qui mérite une relecture urgente et approfondie. L'auteur élargit la perspective et tourne son regard vers "une région située à mi-chemin entre Orient et Occident, qui va des rives orientales de la Méditerranée jusqu'à la mer Noire et à l'Himalaya".

Progress vs Parasites

Story
The change in our ancestors' behaviour was barely perceptible at first. Only a few clues in the archaeological record - sea shells, ochre and stone tools exchanged over long distances - hint at what was to come. Today, a network of interdependence and trade spans the planet - lifting most of our species out of the grinding poverty of the past. But for much of history this engine of human progress stalled, with societies rigged in the interests of small parasitic elites.

Story
With the invention of printing, reading books moved from being an act performed only by priests and aristocrats into an individual, even private activity. This change helped spark the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution - in which punctuation played a crucial role. As long as texts were read out loud by only an educated elite there was no need for punctuation to mark pauses, full stops or questions.

Story
La révolution néolithique qui a lieu entre -10 000 et – 5 000 avant notre ère en plusieurs endroits du globe, est le moment le plus décisif de l'histoire humaine. C'est le passage de la cueillette et de la chasse à l'invention de l'agriculture et de l'élevage. Jean-Paul Demoule présente ici les raisons climatiques, environnementales et culturelles de cette révolution. Des conséquences infinies. Ses conséquences sont multiples et nous les observons chaque jour : explosion démographique, migrations, sédentarisation, naissance des villes et de l'écriture, essor des violences entre communautés.

Story
The cave dwellers of the Stone Age were brutish and primitive compared to the human civilizations that would follow. Their technological developments were limited, and their society and culture provided few lasting legacies. Until surprisingly recently, this was the general view of the period of prehistory known as the Stone Age, an age that lasted for over 2 million years and ended only around 5,000 years ago.

Early UFO Sightings

Story
When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They also might believe that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern phenomenon brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of UFOs quickly reveals that people have been reporting the existence of unidentified flying objects since the beginning of recorded history, and perhaps a lot longer than that.

Story
Durante séculos, nossos ancestrais foram considerados primitivos e infantis, sendo divididos em duas categorias: iguais, livres e inocentes ou guerreiros e brutais. Com base no pensamento de Jean-Jacques Rousseau e de Thomas Hobbes, a ideia que perdurou ao longo dos anos foi a de que só poderíamos alcançar a civilização sacrificando essas liberdades ou domesticando nossos instintos mais básicos. O antropólogo David Graeber e o arqueólogo David Wengrow demonstram como essas teorias que emergiram no século XVIII foram uma reação à crítica feita por povos indígenas à sociedade europeia.

Wer sind wir? Woher kommen wir? Und wohin gehen wir? Martin Elias findet in seinem Buch "Der Neue Mensch" spannende Antworten auf die Frage, wie wir uns als Menschheit verändern – und welche Rolle das Erbe unserer Steinzeit bis heute spielt. Wieso fällt es uns Menschen so schwer, uns zu verändern, auch wenn wir längst wissen, dass bestimmte Verhaltensweisen sich schädlich auf uns auswirken – von Gewalt über Gier bis zur falschen Ernährung. Der Steinzeitmensch in uns ist schuld! Doch die Menschheit steht vor großen Herausforderungen.
