Unser wildes Erbe

How can it be that the supposedly most advanced being on this planet is destroying its own habitat? Do we really have our fate in our own hands, or are we not, like every other animal species, predominantly driven by instinct? Apparently yes: Unable to think ahead or long-term, solely focused on immediate gratification, humanity is ruthlessly depleting the planet's resources and heading knowingly towards its own downfall. In his fascinating new book, Peter Wohlleben provides insights into the true nature of humanity for the first time. Through many astonishing comparisons to the animal and plant worlds, he demonstrates that we are not the crown of creation, but that evolution continues to influence us as well. Only by understanding human nature and accepting its ongoing influence can we forge new paths that allow for a livable future! A journey of discovery into the mysterious cosmos of human nature. How can it be that the supposedly most advanced being on the planet is destroying its own habitat? Until now, Peter Wohlleben has explained the secret life of nature in his unique way. Now he delves into the mystery of our often inexplicable behavior.
