Hoy en día, prácticamente todo el conocimiento humano se encuentra al alcance de nuestra mano: basta hacer tres clics en Internet. Pero, ¿cómo llegamos a adquirir dicho conocimiento? Hicieron falta cientos y en ocasiones miles de años para comprender lo que en la actualidad nos parece evidente. El conocimiento es una aventura, una odisea extraordinaria cuyos pormenores se narran en esta colección. Los simios son nuestros primos y en el origen teníamos más cosas en común con ellos de las que estamos dispuestos a aceptar. ¡Qué escándalo cuando esta historia de la familia fue relevada, a mediados del siglo XIX!.En Occidente, la idea de nuestra evolución resultaba inaceptable. Pero fósil tras fósil, y ahora gen tras gen, nuestro origen común con los otros grandes simios por fin se impuso a casi todos.
These days, practically all of human knowledge is within reach with just three clicks online. But how do we acquire that knowledge? It took hundreds or even thousands of years to understand what now seems evident to us. Knowledge is an adventure, an extraordinary odyssey whose details are laid out in this collection. Apes are our cousins, and we have more in common with them than we realize. It was quite a scandal when this family history was revealed in the mid-19th century! In the West, the idea of our evolution was unacceptable. But fossil after fossil and gene after gene have confirmed our common origin with other great apes, and nearly everyone has come to accept it.
