Synopsis

Jared Diamond takes us on a journey to understand the human past by exploring societies that still live much like our ancestors did. He shares firsthand accounts from his decades of fieldwork, particularly in the Pacific islands, offering a unique perspective on how traditional ways of life can inform our modern existence. This book is a personal reflection on what we've lost and what we can still learn from the world before yesterday.
