A bold, ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world that shows the vital importance of tropical forests to life on Earth´ Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees

Jungle is a new and ambitious history of the world, telling the remarkable story of the world´s tropical forests from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world´s atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors. Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as ´savannah specialists´ is wildly wrong, and that the ´Anthropocene´ began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics. We see that the relationship between humankind and ´jungles´ is deep-rooted, that we are all connected to their destruction, and that we must all act to save them. Urgent, clear-sighted and original, Jungle challenges the way we think about the world - and ourselves.
