We are no strangers to humans, but how did humans evolve into what they are today? What are the key factors that make people human? I will discuss the rise and fall of humankind in five parts. The first part covers millions of years of human evolution, ending with the rise of agriculture 10,000 years ago. The second part discusses changes in the human life cycle. After focusing on the biological basis of our cultural expression, Part 3 goes on to discuss those cultural characteristics that we think make "humans different from animals." Part Four discusses one of them: our vendetta potential. Another dark characteristic of humanity: its ever-accelerating destruction of the environment. In Part Five, I will detail the history of human environmental mismanagement to expose that illusion. As humans emerged from the animal kingdom, our capacity for self-destruction accelerated. The problems we face do have their roots in animals. Those problems have followed us, growing with our increasing power and population, and are now expanding at an alarming rate. I would not have written this book if I had not felt an urgent crisis; I would not have written this book if I had believed that our destruction was sealed. In fact, what we lack is the necessary political will. I trace the history of the human species in this book to help gather that will.

"The Merchant of Venice" is one of Shakespeare's plays. It is extremely ironic and creates a typical image of Shylock, a profit-seeking and ruthless loan shark. The main theme is to praise benevolence, friendship and love, reflecting the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie and the loan sharks in the early stage of capitalism, showing the social reality at that time, embodying the pursuit of the value of "people" during the European Renaissance, as well as humanistic thoughts on issues such as money and law. The period from 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare's creation. His early plays, mainly comedies and historical dramas, reached their peak of depth and artistry in the late 16th century. By 1608, he was mainly writing tragedies. Shakespeare advocated noble sentiments, and his tragedies often described sacrifice and revenge, including "Othello", "Hamlet", "King Lear" and "Macbeth", which are considered among the best examples in the English language. Towards the end of his life, he began to write tragicomedies, also known as romance plays.

This book is the most familiar love classic among Shakespeare's plays. In this play, Shakespeare highlights the sharp conflict between humanistic ideals of love and feudal concepts and feudal forces. He linked the fate of young people to the safety of the entire city where they lived. The bloody vendetta between feudal families not only caused the love tragedy of young people, but also brought disaster to the city. In the script, themes common in historical dramas condemning feudal disputes and themes common in comedies praising ideal love and friendship appear comprehensively. This is a tragedy, but the whole play is full of rich lyrical color and contains a lot of comedy elements. In the end, the young people's sacrifice brought about reconciliation between the two families and peace in the city. The parents also decided to build a golden statue for them.

"Richard III" is a work by the British playwright William Shakespeare. It describes the short reign of Richard III. The play is believed to have been written around 1591. The play is sometimes classified as a tragedy (in the early quartos), but a more accurate classification would be a historical drama, as in the First Folio. The work begins with "Henry VI Part 3" and ends the series of historical dramas that began with "Richard II". This work is Shakespeare's second longest play, after "Hamlet". Since the version of "Hamlet" included in the "First Folio" is shorter than the previous quarto, "Richard III" is the longest play among them. The length of the script is often considered a drawback, as it is rarely performed in its entirety and unimportant characters are often omitted.
