«El enjambre humano» is the popular science essay by Mark W. Moffett, published by DEBATE in paperback (672 pages, in Spanish).
Why do humans form societies of millions of individuals who cooperate with strangers, while other primates only tolerate their own group? Mark W. Moffett addresses this question by combining psychology, sociology, anthropology and biology. The author compares the behavior of ants, chimpanzees and other species with that of human civilizations to explain how societies emerge, thrive and fall. An investigation into collective identity, large-scale coexistence and the social adaptations that make life in complex communities possible.
It belongs to the Ciencia y Tecnología collection from Debate. Translated by Joaquín Chamorro Mielke. The original English edition, «The Human Swarm», was published in 2019.
Recommended for readers of popular non-fiction interested in evolution, anthropology and sociology, in the vein of authors such as Jared Diamond or Yuval Noah Harari.
