Résumé
"Mr Suzman deftly weaves his experiences and observations with lessons on human evolution, the history of human migration and the fate of African communities since the arrival of Europeans. The overarching aim of the book is more ambitious still : to challenge the reader's ideas about both hunter-gatherer life and human nature" Economist. "This fascinating glimpse into a disappearing way of life leads Suzman to reflect on our world today : a world where wealth and possessions are valued above all other pursuits.
Suzman's account of the lives of Bushmen, past and present, offers plenty of fuel for thought" Washington Post. "The news here is that the lives of most of our progenitors were better than we think. We're flattering ourselves by believing that their existence was so grim and that our modern, civilized one is, by comparison, so great" New Yorker
