Here is the extraordinary story of the unfolding of life on Earth, told by Michael J. Benton, a world-renowned authority on biodiversity. Ranging over four billion years, Benton weaves together the latest findings on fossils, earth history, evolutionary biology, and many other fields to highlight the great leaps that enabled life to evolve from microbe to human - big breakthroughs that made whole new ways of life possible - including cell division and multicellularity, hard skeletons, the move to land, the origin of forests, the move to the air.

Was haben Lene, die gesunde Sportlehrerin, Thomas, der lebensfrohe und fitte Lektor, Dominik, der wissenschaftlich erfolgreiche Institutsdirektor und die Katzenmutter Karin gemeinsam? Sie sind plötzlich an Krebs erkrankt und wurden mit modernen medizinischen Behandlungsmethoden therapiert. Ob Krebs im Magen, Enddarm, in der Bauchspeicheldrüse oder im lymphatischen System, warum hat nur Karin überlebt? Dieser Frage geht Professor Christoph Wagener auf ungewöhnliche Weise nach und macht mit diesem Buch eine historische, anekdotische und kriminalistische Reise.

Have you ever wondered why you look the way you do—why you might have your dad’s curly hair, your mom’s blue eyes, or your grandparent’s tall frame? Understanding Genetics: A Simple Look at DNA and Heredity takes listeners on a captivating journey inside the invisible world that defines who we are. Written in clear, engaging language, this book breaks down the complex science of DNA into an accessible and fascinating guide for curious minds of all ages.

There are few stories more remarkable than the evolution of life on earth. Where did humans come from? Where did life come from? New fields of study, such as molecular biology and astrobiology, are shedding remarkable new light on the origin of life and the origin of sex. In this Very Short Introduction Michael J. Benton covers all the main fossil groups, including dinosaurs, and the upheavals such as mass extinctions that have beset our planet and life on Earth.

BUILT FROM BURGERS is a clear, sharp, and wildly listenable walkthrough of how life actually works. From DNA to digestion, from cell division to consciousness. No fluff. No filler. Just the full biological blueprint of you, explained molecule by molecule. This isn’t a textbook. It’s a systems manual. Inside, you’ll learn how your body builds itself from atoms, why proteins do everything, how cells specialize, how your brain talks to your gut, and what happens when it all breaks down.

From renowned neuroscientist Dr. Vyshedskiy comes a bold and original account of the evolutionary journey that led to humanity’s most defining trait: syntactic language. Drawing on over 40 years of research and his acclaimed course Neuroscience of Consciousness and the Evolution of Language at Boston University, Vyshedskiy masterfully bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with anthropology, linguistics, and evolutionary biology.70,000 years ago, Earth was home to at least six human species. Today, only Homo sapiens remain. What set us apart?

In Faster, Higher, Stronger, veteran journalist Mark McClusky brings listeners behind the scenes with a new generation of athletes, coaches, and scientists whose accomplishments are changing our understanding of human physical achievement and completely redefining the limits of the human body.

In Arrival of the Fittest, renowned evolutionary biologist Andreas Wagner draws on over 15 years of research to present the missing piece in Darwin's theory. Using experimental and computational technologies that were heretofore unimagined, he has found that adaptations are not just driven by chance, but by a set of laws that allow nature to discover new molecules and mechanisms in a fraction of the time that random variation would take.

Eine faszinierende Vorstellung: Wie wäre es, wenn sich die biologische Uhr, die in jedem von uns tickt, anhalten ließe – oder sogar ein Stück zurückdrehen? Und das nicht bloß gefühlt, sondern messbar? Dieses Versprechen ist seit Kurzem Realität. Der junge Forschungszweig der Epigenetik hat den Deckel von der Altersuhr gehoben – und in aktuellen Studien nun sogar den Sprung in die praktische Anwendung geschafft. Genau darum geht es in diesem Hörbuch: Was kann ich ganz konkret tun, um meine Altersuhr zurückzudrehen? Um wie viele Monate oder gar Jahre lässt sich der Zeiger zurückstellen?

Com base na arqueogenética, cientistas como Johannes Krause traçaram a rota das ondas migratórias que povoaram o mundo, lançando luz sobre aspectos do passado que até então permaneciam um mistério. Krause e o jornalista Thomas Trappe reescrevem um dos capítulos mais interessantes desse percurso: o povoamento da Europa. Além disso, detalham a cultura dos povos que viviam lá no período pré-histórico, formados por hábeis artesãos, por pessoas que enterravam os mortos com joias de ouro muito antes dos faraós do Egito e por caçadores de grandes animais que pereceram na Era do Gelo.

In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime.

New York Times bestselling author and former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb provides a glimpse of a promising future that is quickly approaching: a world with cures for chronic illnesses and cancers. While traditional drugs mostly help us manage the effects of disease, cell therapies promise...

Eating disorders are one of the most common but elusive conditions to treat in all of Psychiatry. While current treatments do help some patients with eating disorders, many individuals receive little to no benefit from treatment options, leading to a lifelong struggle with anxiety around eating and body image.

Nuestro código genético, el ADN, es la información más íntima y profunda que heredamos de nuestros padres y antepasados. Es, además, casi igual entre los seres humanos. Podríamos decir que solo una porción minúscula es responsable de que podamos ver tantas diferencias a simple vista: color de ojos, de piel, de pelo, de altura. Pero ese mínimo porcentaje es también el que nos puede brindar datos esenciales para saber qué alimentos consumir para mejorar nuestra calidad de vida y prolongarla.

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet few people know it.
