Reweirding: Being Human Miscellaneous

Lewis Dartnell explores how human biology has shaped relationships, societies, economies and wars across the globe

How did haemophilia bring down the Russian royal family? And scurvy give rise to the Mafia? We are a wonder of evolution, but we're also deeply flawedThis extraordinary contradiction between our faculties and frailties is the essence of what it means to be humanAnd history has played out in the balance between them

Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens of this uniquely fragile nature for the first timeFrom cognitive biases to endemic diseases, he explores how human biology has shaped relationships, societies, economies, and wars across the globe – and considers how, importantly, it continues to challenge and define our progress
