Эволюция

Наша древняя история раскрывается через передовую науку, показывая, как ДНК, естественный отбор и биологические силы сформировали всё — от наших тел до нашего поведения. Ведущие мыслители освещают место человечества в грандиозном эксперименте природы, исследуя секс, интеллект, здоровье и бесчисленные особенности, которые делают нас уникально человечными.

This site is a total game-changer. I've been flying through book summaries like never before. Highly, highly recommend.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
