    'Hugely, highly and happily recommended'


    Stephen Fry

    'You should read Humankind. You'll learn a lot (I did) and you'll
    have good reason to feel better about the human race'
    Tim Harford

    'The book we need right now'


    Daily Telegraph

    'Made me see humanity from a fresh perspective'


    Yuval Noah Harari

    It's a belief that unites the left and right, psychologists and
    philosophers, writers and historians. It drives the headlines that
    surround us and the laws that touch our lives. From Machiavelli to
    Hobbes, Freud to Dawkins, the roots of this belief have sunk deep
    into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature
    selfish and governed by self-interest.

    Humankind makes a new argument: that it is realistic, as well as


    revolutionary, to assume that people are good. The instinct to
    cooperate rather than compete, trust rather than distrust, has an
    evolutionary basis going right back to the beginning of Homo
    sapiens. By thinking the worst of others, we bring out the worst in
    our politics and economics too.
    In this major book, internationally bestselling author Rutger
    Bregman takes some of the world's most famous studies and events
    and reframes them, providing a new perspective on the last 200,000
    years of human history. From the real-life Lord of the Flies to the
    Blitz, a Siberian fox farm to an infamous New York murder, Stanley
    Milgram's Yale shock machine to the Stanford prison experiment,
    Bregman shows how believing in human kindness and altruism can
    be a new way to think - and act as the foundation for achieving true
    change in our society.

    It is time for a new view of human nature.
