Humankind

In this engaging instant New York Times bestseller, Rutger Bregman challenges the long-held belief that humans are inherently selfish and driven by self-interest. Drawing on 200,000 years of history, he presents a compelling argument that our true nature is rooted in kindness and cooperation, supported by evolutionary evidence. Through vivid examples, from real-life tales of solidarity to critiques of infamous psychological experiments, Bregman illustrates how embracing a more positive view of humanity can fundamentally reshape our societal structures and foster meaningful change.
