{"product_id":"9781907962509","title":"Why Do Humans Work So Hard?","description":"The human species is compared to the other species of life on Earth via the concept of work. In particular, the question of why the human species works so hard is addressed. Could it have turned out that the human species did not work hard? Could our distant ancestors have not mastered fire, not invented the wheel, not developed complex tools? Could they have instead just taken it easy and lounged around all day en masse? If this situation pertained then clearly the human species would not work very hard. But could this situation ever have transpired? And is it true that that the human species works hard? The answer to this question seems to be dependent on how 'work' is defined. These and other issues are addressed. It is concluded that non-human species work but that the human species does work very hard; the reasons why this is so are also explored.","brand":"Cranmore Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047707820272,"sku":"9781907962509","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907962509_p0.jpg?v=1763620235","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907962509","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
