Humanity – what a success story! Charles Darwin, who formulated the theory of evolution, would be proud: survival of the fittest. But what about the second-fittest?
Anna Bühler and Christian Alt feel bad that history is written by the winners. In their successful podcast Darwin gefällt das [“Darwin would like that”], they therefore investigate the most hilarious follies and failures of human history. In their book of the same name, they present the most unusual ideas, strangest incidents and absurd inventions: bombs strapped to bats, teenagers who build nuclear power plants in their backyard, or a crane operator from northern England with a fervent desire to win the British Open. History is full of experiments that went totally wrong and of gripping stories which we should not forget.
