The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise, Thrive, and Fall

byMark W. Moffett

The Human Swarm is Mark W. Moffett's account of how our societies arise, thrive, and fall, told through the conflicts, discoveries, and decisions that gave the subject its meaning. The Human Swarm rests its case on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The Human Swarm also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in history and psychology. The Human Swarm emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
