La Muerte Contada Por Un Sapiens a Un Neandertal / Death as Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal [Spanish]

By Juan Luis Arsuaga, Juan José Millás, Dina Nayeri

Book Overview

Vuelven el sapiens y el neandertal, vuelve «la fiesta de la inteligencia (David Broncano)

«En la naturaleza no hay vejez, no hay decrepitud. Solo hay plenitud o muerte .

«Nos encantar?a descubrir que cada especie tiene un reloj biol?gico en sus c?lulas, porque, de existir ese reloj y si fu?ramos capaces de dar con ?l, quiz? pudi?ramos pararlo y de ese modo volvernos eternos , le plantea Arsuaga a Mill?s en este libro en el que la ciencia se entrelaza con la literatura. El paleont?logo desvela aspectos esenciales de nuestra existencia al escritor, y se debate sobre la conveniencia de transmitir su visi?n azarosa de la vida a un Mill?s a dieta que descubre que la vejez es un pa?s en el que todav?a se siente extranjero.

Tras la extraordinaria acogida de La vida contada por un sapiens a un neandertal, el t?ndem m?s brillante de la literatura espa?ola vuelve a deslumbrar al lector abordando temas como la muerte y la eternidad, la longevidad, la enfermedad, el envejecimiento, la selecci?n natural, la muerte programada y la supervivencia.

Humor, biolog?a, naturaleza, vida, mucha vida... y dos personajes fascinantes, el sapiens y el neandertal, que nos sorprenden en cada p?gina con sus agudas reflexiones sobre c?mo nos ha tratado la evoluci?n como especie. Y tambi?n como individuos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Sapiens and the Neanderthal are back. "The feast of intelligence" (David Broncano) is back.

"In nature there is no old age, there is no decrepitude. There is only fulfillment or death."

"We would love to learn that all species have a biological clock within our cells. Because, if such clock existed, if we were able to find it, maybe we could stop it and, thus, become eternal", Arsuaga tells Mill?s in this book, where science intertwines with literature. The paleontologist reveals essential aspects of our existence to the writer, and debates over the advisability of conveying his random insights on life to a dieting Mill?s, who figures old age is a country he still feels a stranger in.

After the extraordinary welcome that Life as Told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal had, the most brilliant tandem in Spanish literature dazzles their readers yet again, approaching such issues as death and eternity, longevity, disease, aging, natural selection, programed death, and livelihood.

Humor, biology, nature, life, plenty of life... and two fascinating characters, the Sapiens and the Neanderthal, both surprising us page after page with their sharp reflections about the way evolution has treated us as a species. And as individuals.
