On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals?

Su cosa camminiamo quando percorriamo le strade di Roma? "Sul tetto di case antiche" avrebbe risposto Montaigne, perché è l’unico luogo dove i resti sono "profondi fino agli antipodi".

Se vogliamo conoscere Roma, la città dalle infinite stratificazioni, dobbiamo avvicinare la complessità.
