The provided passages do not offer specific evidence that the author uses to support their claims. Instead, they describe the premise of the book, "We Have Never Been Modern" [1]. The author, Bruno Latour, questions the modern belief that the rise of science irrevocably separated humanity from its premodern ancestors [1].

The passages explain the central argument and the nature of the book but do not detail the evidence Latour presents within it.
