I want to know everything. Vol. 1 (set of 2 books)

The set "I want to know everything. Ext. 1 "contains books:" rational animal. A man on the sidelines of evolution "The successes of Homo sapiens in the competition are undeniable. Its aggressiveness, exceptional ingenuity and amazing plasticity have always been higher than all praise.
