Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization by Richard Manning

Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization by Richard Manning

Offers a revisionist view of recent human evolution, beginning with the vast increase in brain size that set us apart from our primate relatives and brought an accompanying increase in our need for nourishment. Eventually we embarked upon the agricultural experiment that has been part of our history for the past 10000 years.

Richard Manning is a journalist and award-winning environmental author. Against the Grain: How Agriculture Hijacked Civilization, Food's Frontier: The Next Green Revolution, and Grassland: The Biology, Politics, and Potential of the American Plains are among his seven works.
