"Witty and entertaining."--Sarah Knight

"Laugh-out-loud."--Steve Brusatte

AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY THROUGH THE MOST CREATIVE AND CATASTROPHIC F*CK-UPS OF HUMAN HISTORY

Modern humans have come a long way in the seventy thousand years they've walked the earth. Art, science, culture, trade--on the evolutionary food chain, we're true winners. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing, and sometimes--just occasionally--we've managed to truly f*ck things up.

Weaving together history, science, politics and pop culture, Humans offers a panoramic exploration of humankind in all its glory, or lack thereof. From Lucy, our first ancestor, who fell out of a tree and died, to General Zhou Shou of China, who stored gunpowder in his palace before a lantern festival, to the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the most spectacular fails of the present day, Humans reveals how even the most mundane mistakes can shift the course of civilization as we know it. Lively, wry and brimming with brilliant insight, this unique compendium offers a fresh take on world history and is one of the most entertaining reads of the year.

I expect to be using it for years
Color: Brown, Style: Modern
Very well made product. It matched the description in every way. It is still a little stiff but I know it will stretch into a comfortable use product because that is how leather is. Why did you pick this product vs others?: I liked the retro look that was offered Card capacity: including hiden pockets there are 13 as described. Comfort: nicely smooth and fits well in my pocket.  Slimness:   A smidge bulkier than expected but not a problem Value for money: definitely worth the price. Smell: I could smell the leather tanning.  Quality: My girl friend is proud to have me produce it at the bar.

Very roomy
Color: Coffee, Style: Modern
It's great. I feel secure with the RFID, the leather is soft and looks great. It has many pockets for cards so that I can spread out my cards. This makes it slim in my pocket. This is a very nice wallet; I recommend this as a great gift or a replacement for yourself.

Booted & Suited
Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small
This is my 3rd son & my last to do the "prom" thing. Usually we go on a popular store chain website where you usually have to buy everything ala individually. Here I could get everything I need, 3 piece suit, button up shirt,black velvet loafers, and a wrist corsage for her & a Boutonniere for him all here on Amazon with money to spare. The suit needed a little steaming and we did have his pants hemmed we listened to the other ppl on here & realized this obviously runs very large so we reluctantly ordered a small when he usually wears a Men's medium. We were very happy because the fit looks tailor made to me so size down. If you're on the way more slender side get a XS. This runs very large my son is 5"11 and works out consistently & is approximately 155-160 lbs. The material was wonderful Nice not some weird material what you would expect for a suit/tux .I love the satin lined lapel that added some extra flair...we opted to wear a thick chain instead of the bow tie that it did come with a lot of ppl said they didn't get one, well we did. Everything in the pic on my son came from Amazon (except his Girlfriend's dress) even his unique Boutonniere & her corsage that are made from faux flowers to keep forever. I love this suit, this price, and most of all the quality you might as well just buy it because renting it is about the same price & this one you get to keep!
