Evoluce

Náš pradávný příběh se odvíjí prostřednictvím nejmodernější vědy a odhaluje, jak DNA, přirozený výběr a biologické síly formovaly vše od našich těl po naše chování. Přední myslitelé osvětlují místo lidstva ve velkém experimentu přírody a zkoumají sex, inteligenci, zdraví a nesčetné zvláštnosti, které nás činí jedinečně lidskými.

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!

— Em

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.
