Neanderthals to Nations: A History of Everyone

Description

Neanderthals to Nations is a one-stop read in understanding why the world is
as it is today. The book starts off in the 21st century with the world
suffering from developmental inequities, global violence, and climate change.
It then explains how the architects of human destiny- geography, culture and
technology- shaped the planet and its people to become what we are today.

present day, explaining how nations and people evolved to become what they
currently are. Along the way, the reader discovers: What “www” really stands
for (and its not “worldwide web”); How Confucius made China great; The keys to
the U.S. and China’s current governance systems in ancient Greece;Religion;
why the East is (still) inscrutable to the Western minds, how religion evolved
and why it continues to be popular today; The U.S. Constitution came from
where?; How the pope determined the cultural destiny of Latin America; How the
Suez Canal and oil remade the Middle East’s Future; The evolution of country
cultures: how the U.S., British, French, German, Latin American, Chinese,
Japanese and others came to be as they are today; Why the Palestinians and

continues. About the Author Born and raised in Leicester, England, John S.
