We are an astonishing species. Over the past millennium of plagues and exploration, revolution and scientific discovery, woman's rights and technological advances, human society have changed beyond recognition. Sweeping through the last thousand years of human development, Human Race is a treasure chest of the lunar leaps and lightbulb moments that, for better or worse, have sent humanity swerving down a path that no one could ever have predicted. Dr. Ian Mortimer, the author of the bestselling Ian The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England points out many blind spots in historical knowledge. He also shows the history from a broader spectrum considering the impact of various human changes over the time of their existence. But which of the last ten centuries saw the greatest changes in human history? History’s greatest tour guide, Mortimer, knows what answer he would give.
