A history of human cruelty, unreason and insensitivity.
A Biography of Inhumanity represents the antithesis of José Antonio Marina’s previous book. While A Biography of Humanity explained the history of cultural evolution (through the development of art, politics, social institutions, religions, feelings and technology), A Biography of Inhumanity seeks to explore the greatest errors or cruelties of our history, and why at the time these actions were carried out or accepted as a kind of implacable destiny. Using the intellectual tools provided by psychology, the author offers us a historical-cultural journey through the main evils and apathies we have committed as an “inhuman” species.
