La muerte contada por un sapiens a un neandertal
Millás, Juan José
Arsuaga, Juan Luis
"We would love to discover that each species has a biological clock in its cells, because, if that clock existed and if we were able to find it, perhaps we could stop it and thus become eternal," Arsuaga asks Millás in this book in where science intertwines with literature. The paleontologist reveals essential aspects of our existence to the writer, and discusses the advisability of transmitting his hazardous vision of life to a dieting Millás who discovers that old age is a country in which he still feels like a foreigner. After the extraordinary reception of La vida contada por un sapiens a un neandertal, the most brilliant tandem in Spanish literature once again dazzles the reader by addressing topics such as death and eternity, longevity, illness, ageing, natural selection, programmed death and survival. Humour, biology, nature, life, lots of life... and two fascinating characters, Sapiens and Neanderthals, who surprise us on every page with their sharp reflections on how evolution has treated us as a species. And also as individuals.
