Andy Turnbull

Writer and journalist Andy Turnbull is the author of books, news articles, short stories and essays combining humor, research and insightful analysis. Most of his books are iconoclastic critiques of conventional wisdom.In the current book, Turnbull challenges accepted notions about how human civilization developed. Most species survive for half a million years, while humanity is already about one million years old. We survive because we cooperate, he says.However, ants and termites have been around for at least 100 times longer. Should we act more like them, or have we gone too far already?
