Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up
Phillips argues that humans are generally more prone to error than they are to achievement. His first example is the fossilised hominid Lucy, who he says would never have been discovered were it not for her error.[2] He also mentions Adolf Hitler, stating that his government was poorly operated.[3]Kirkus Reviews stated that profanity – the word fuck – is a frequent element in the book, and describes it as "Al Gore by way of Monty Python".[2] Times News Network of The Times of India concurred with the statement about profanity and added that the book's style is "entertaining" with a "quite breezy" "narrative technique" and a conversational style.[4][5]
