What does it mean to be human?

Are we hopelessly aggressive stupid apes? Is the stupid, aggressive, short-sighted-selfish behavior, which is so typical of our present society, also typical of our ancestors; or were they different. Is the blind and destructive impulse this society an aberration? Leakey argues that the fossil, paleontological, and anthropological evidence from millions of years ago and the present show that our current society is a dangerous aberration and degradation from millions of years of human and pre-human societies based on sharing and altruism. This is arguably one of the most important books ever written.

Homo sapiens

ITs essential to read this book, in order to get a good handle on paleontology, anthropology ,and sociological phenomenon. Really explains alot about humankind.
