The history of human shit, or What we've screwed up

An exciting journey through the most creative and catastrophic f*ck ups in human history, or Everything we’ve ever properly screwed up – from our first ancestor who fell out of a tree to the most remarkable failures of the present day.

In the seventy thousand years that modern humans have walked this earth, we've come a very long way. Art, science, culture, technology – on the evolutionary food chain, we are the true winners. But let's be honest, it hasn't exactly been a walk in the park, and sometimes we've just really, properly, and thoroughly screwed up. From our ancestor who fell off a branch, through the Austrian army that attacked itself on one boozy night, to the world's leading superpower that elected a TV show host as its president... it's fair to say as a species that we certainly haven't become wiser with age. So, the next time you think you've really screwed something up, this book will remind you that it could have been much, much worse.
A fun walk through the most creative and catastrophic screw-ups in human history.
