In the last 200 years, humans have made such a tremendous impact on the world that our geological epoch is about to be declared the Anthropocene, or "the Age of Man." But while we have been busy changing the shape of the world we inhabit, Vybarr Cregan-Reid argues here, our ways of living have been transforming our bodies and altering the expression of our DNA. Spanning the entirety of human history—from primate to transhuman—this intriguing book investigates where we came from, who we are today, and how modern technology will change us beyond recognition.
