The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire

In The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire, Henry Gee explores the history and future of humanity, drawing on the latest scientific research to examine how our species rose to dominance and the factors that now threaten its longevity. Covering our deep past from the palaeolithic era to current challenges such as climate change and declining birth rates, the book offers a thought-provoking look at the potential decline of humankind. With warmth, wit, and a compelling narrative, Gee considers whether there is a way for humanity to avoid its impending decline.
