This book offers a personal inquiry, not a political treatise, into the consequences of allowing labels to define both individuals and societies. It asks: What remains when these labels are stripped away? What is the danger in neglecting to examine our core identity beneath them?

Más que un estudio, este libro es un autorretrato: la selfi íntima y aguda de una generación. Una generación, como nos señala Valentina Vapaux, que no se define tanto por hábitos o posturas particulares, sino por una serie de contradicciones esenciales. Las y los jóvenes de la generación Z encuentran conexión y sentido de pertenencia en internet y las redes sociales, pero, al mismo tiempo, el mundo virtual resulta una fuente inagotable de ansiedad y depresión. Valoran altamente su individualidad, pero se mueven en una sociedad en la que las personas son intercambiables, reemplazables.

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.

Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and evolutionary science, it explores how early humans lived, moved, cooperated, and adapted over deep time.
