Memórias do subsolo é um pequeno romance publicado em 1864. Considerada uma obra precursora do existencialismo e da psicanálise, traz na primeira parte o monólogo de um homem amargurado e amargo, um homem subterrâneo, sem nome ou relações sociais, um empregado aposentado, em cuja própria existência não vê nenhum sentido, e que se dirige diretamente ao leitor. Tenta envolvê-lo, convencê-lo e comovê-lo com hipóteses sobre si mesmo e sua possível redenção, talvez via a ação, nem que seja fazer o mal — para afinal concluir que o melhor é não fazer nada.

Nuestra especie no era la única ni la más prometedora de las varias versiones de humanos en el planeta hace 200.000 años. Pero lo conquistó. Salió de su cuna en África y ocupó todos los continentes. Seleccionó y rediseñó al puñado de animales y vegetales de los que se alimenta. Se multiplicó una y mil veces. Hizo pueblos, ciudades, imperios, guerras, transportes, fábricas e ideas, muchas ideas.

L'opera che proponiamo all'ascolto è fondamentale - secondo l'autorevole rivista "Science" - per chi vuole cominciare a capire il rapporto fra il nostro patrimonio genetico e la storia delle civiltà. Come e da dove ebbero origine le diverse popolazioni umane? Quali percorsi seguirono via via che si distribuivano nei vari continenti, si differenziavano fra loro e si moltiplicavano? Che ruolo ha avuto l'evoluzione culturale e tecnologica? Quali e quante lingue sono parlate al mondo? Esistono veramente le 'razze' umane? A queste, e a molte altre domande, affascinanti e grandiose, offre una risposta un'opera che fin dalla sua prima pubblicazione in USA nel 1994 (la versione italiana è di Adelphi, 1997) è stata definita un caposaldo della ricerca.
