Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time. This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution. Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens.

In this groundbreaking approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones ‘painted’ on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.

The open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes listeners inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence.

A New York Times–bestselling astrophysicist and a Nobel laureate describe the quest to discover how and where the universe breathed life into matter For a long time, scientists have wondered how life has emerged from inanimate chemistry, and whether Earth is the only place where it exists...

In an era where robots are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, we still struggle to define exactly what constitutes a robot.Do robots deserve to be defined by biological markers? How can we differentiate between a mechanical android versus one with synthetic skin? Are robots simply advanced machines that serve as tools for humanity? Will they eventually join the fabric of human society as our agents, advisors, assistants, maids, nurses, and partners? Will they be our servants, equals or superiors? Will we merge with them to become human-robot hybrids?

If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell). What have these organisms—bacteria, animals, plants, and the rest—done in all this time? In Living on Earth, the philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a new way of understanding how the actions of living beings have shaped our planet.

Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. 

Charles Darwin escribió El Origen del Hombre en 1871, donde aplicó sus ideas evolutivas a la comprensión de la historia humana. En este libro, Darwin aplicó los principios de su teoría evolutiva, como la selección natural y la descendencia con modificaciones, a la comprensión de la historia evolutiva de la especie humana. Darwin argumentó que los humanos compartían un ancestro común con otros primates, basándose en evidencias anatómicas, fósiles y comportamentales.

The question: Where did we come from and how did we get here? will be answered in a surprising new way in this book. Christians and evolutionists alike say no one was there in the beginning to see how what we have before us came to be. There is a better answer. Many teachings were lost sight of or forgotten through the dark ages; this teaching is no exception. This book shows surprising new developments in the understanding of the origin of all life on our planet, which we call home.

From an evolutionary biopsychologist turned clinical psychologist, Why Dawkins is Absolutely Right–and Absolutely Wrong–on God and Religion offers a radical critique of Dawkins' stance on God and religion that introduces a paradigm-shifting, scientifically and spiritually sound resolution to the conflict between science and religion.

По Вернадскому все живое на Земле составляет биосферу — своеобразную оболочку планеты, в которой протекает бесконечный круговорот материи и энергии. Однако с появлением человека и его беспрецедентным по масштабу влиянием на планету начинается новая геологическая эпоха, и биосфера переходит в новое состояние, трансформируясь в "сферу разума" — ноосферу. Как же происходит трансформация биосферы в ноосферу? Какую роль играют в этом глобальные системы коммуникации, развитие новых источников энергии, усиление международных культурных и политических связей, выход человека и биосферы за пределы Земли — в космос?

From three-inch fang blennies to thirty-foot prehistoric crocodiles, from gaboon vipers to Neanderthals, Bite is a fascinating journey through the natural, scientific, and cultural history of something right in front of—or in—our faces: teeth. In Bite, zoologist Bill Schutt makes a...
