What is Jungle : How Tropical Forests Shaped the World - and Us about?

' A bold, ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world ' Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees ' A fascinating story and a crucial revision of the momentous importance of tropical forests to human history ' Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins _________________________ Jungle tells the remarkable story of the world's tropical forests, from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world's atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors. Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as 'savannah specialists' is wildly wrong, and that the 'Anthropocene' began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics.
