| Summary, etc. |
For the first time since the dawn of agriculture, the rate<br/> of human population growth is slowing down. The global <br/> population is forecast to begin declining in the second <br/> half of this century, and in 10,000 years' time our <br/> species will likely be extinct. In The Decline and Fall of<br/> the Human Empire, Henry Gee shows how we arrived at this <br/> crucial moment in our history, beginning his story deep in<br/> the palaeolithic past and charting our dramatic rise from <br/> one species of human among many - teetering on the edge of<br/> extinction for more than a hundred millennia - to the most<br/> dominant animal to ever live on Earth. But rapid climate <br/> change, a stagnating global economy, falling birth rates <br/> and an unexplainable decline in average human sperm count <br/> are combining to make our chances for longevity <br/> increasingly slim. Drawing on a dazzling array of the <br/> latest scientific research, Gee tells the extraordinary <br/> story of humanity with characteristic warmth and wit, and <br/> suggests how our exceptional species might avoid its <br/> tragic fate. |
