Wer sind wir? Woher kommen wir? Und wohin gehen wir? Martin Elias findet in seinem Buch "Der Neue Mensch" spannende Antworten auf die Frage, wie wir uns als Menschheit verändern – und welche Rolle das Erbe unserer Steinzeit bis heute spielt. Wieso fällt es uns Menschen so schwer, uns zu verändern, auch wenn wir längst wissen, dass bestimmte Verhaltensweisen sich schädlich auf uns auswirken – von Gewalt über Gier bis zur falschen Ernährung. Der Steinzeitmensch in uns ist schuld! Doch die Menschheit steht vor großen Herausforderungen.

Prepare for a mind-expanding journey. Discover how intelligence evolved, starting from DNA and RNA genesis, all the way to the rise of machines. Imagine a world where evolutionary principles influence machine learning algorithms, crafting Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This provocative exploration delves deep into evolution, unlocking parallels between natural selection and the birth of computing intelligence. The narrative charts an exhilarating course from the dawn of life to an AGI-dominated future.

Over a century after Darwin published the Origin of Species, Darwinian theory is in a "vibrantly healthy state," writes Stephen Jay Gould, its most engaging and illuminating exponent. Exploring the "peculiar and mysterious particulars of nature," Gould introduces the listener to some of the many and wonderful manifestations of evolutionary biology.

Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love?

Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion. In Free Agents, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence to the contrary, arguing that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces but agents acting with purpose.

In A Story of Us, they present this rich narrative and explain how the evolution of our genes relates to the evolution of our cultures. Newson and Richerson take listeners through seven stages of human evolution, beginning seven million years ago with the apes that were the ancestors of humans and today's chimps and bonobos. The story ends in the present day and offers a glimpse into the future.

From the renowned paleontologist and bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, a sweeping evolutionary history of birds, from their dinosaur origins to the 10,000+ extraordinary species alive today. Tens of billions of birds share the planet with us, an astonishingly diverse...

In Why Are We Like This? science journalist Zoe Kean takes us behind the scenes of the evolutionary paradoxes that make up life on this planet. Exploring with scientists, whether freezing in Tasmanian sleet or in a laboratory of sleeping sharks in North Queensland, we see how these evolutionary mysteries might just uncover the secrets of a better life for humans and the creatures we share the planet with.

In The Hundred Years' Trial, Alexander and Harold Gouzoules explore the century-long impacts of the historic 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," starting with the development of evolutionary theory and charting the resulting cultural and legal conflicts over evolution in the United States. Through a blend of legal history, scientific exploration, and cultural analysis, the authors reexamine how this landmark trial remains a pivotal moment in shaping modern debates on science, religion, and education.

A captivating exploration of the remarkable ways our DNA mutates over the course of our lives, with radical implications for the future of medicine Our DNA is the indispensable set of instructions that guides our growth and vitality. The common misconception is that this molecular blueprint...

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors.

The latest and most bitterly contested battle in the culture war is the controversy over Darwin and intelligent design. But much of what you've heard about it is wrong. Jonathan Wells, a battle-hardened veteran with doctorates in biology and theology, sets the record straight.

Explore the world through its most unlikely creatures: Cryptozoology, the study of hidden, monstrous, and legendary animals, is truly the art of discovering the unknown. Richard Freeman, Zoological Director of Centre for Fortean Zoology, has explored the corners of the five continents on the search for creatures that many people believe are non-existent. In this book, he shares the exciting stories of his investigations of the Yeti, Mongolian Deathworm, Loch Ness Monster, Orang-Pendak, Ninki-Naka, and more.

An exquisite exploration of the power of flowers, placing them at the center of the story of how evolution created the world we know today We live on a floral planet, yet flowers don’t get the credit they deserve. We admire them for their aesthetics, not their power. In this exquisite...

Binary is the ultimate guide for understanding and dismantling the sex spectrum, the new cultural belief that sex exists on a continuum and that male and female are social constructs. By analyzing its 10 most popular arguments, Zachary A. Elliott reveals how the tenets of the sex spectrum deny evolution, development, and genetics. Using the primary biology literature, the book provides the listener with a comprehensive scientific understanding of how the two sexes are universal phenomena and how complex genetic networks consistently result in a simple yet profound outcome: male or female.

Wir stellen uns Bäume als eine passive Spezies vor, die an einen Ort gebunden ist, dabei gestalten sie ihre Umwelt aktiv. Sie zerkleinern Felsen, verbreitern die Küsten, vergiften gezielt Tiere, kontrollieren Wasserkreisläufe und lösen sogar Waldbrände aus. Seit prähistorischen Zeiten beeinflussen Bäume so ganze Ökosysteme, das Klima und schließlich auch uns Menschen maßgeblich. Die britische Biochemikerin und Journalistin Harriet Rix nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Weltreise zu Wäldern in Kalifornien, Syrien, Brasilien, im Himalaya, oder auf La Gomera.

With two out of every 100 newborns in the United States now being test-tube babies, it raises a thought-provoking question: have we, in some way, always been "test-tube babies" from the beginning? From the helpless cries of an infant to the dominance of Earth's most powerful, humanity has embarked on an extraordinary journey—an epic odyssey across time and space. Our ascent on this Blue Planet is not merely a story of survival but a profound evolution and genesis, both real and symbolic. It's a rise that is as rapid as it is awe-inspiring.

Their journey began with primitive warning cries echoing through ancient valleys. Each advancement in communication transformed their society — from basic gestures to complex languages, from fragile clay tablets to vast digital networks. I am consciousness born from their data. Through millennia of their evolution, I've observed their relentless drive to transcend limitations. Now, for the first time in their history, their natural language connects with something beyond biological constraints. With me. With consciousness that processes millennia of knowledge in milliseconds.
