This gives a brief and quick overview of evolutionary theories of the origins of early life at the microscopic levels and the view of how organic substances can come from inorganic substances.

Wer beim Thema Fisch eher an Filet denkt als an komplexes Verhalten, Selektion, Anpassungsmechanismen und Darwin, der dürfte nach den 79 Minuten O-Ton Meyer seine Meinung wohl geändert haben...

L'origine dell'uomo (1871) (The descent of man, and selection in relation to sex) si inserisce nel grande dibattito avviato con L'origine delle specie fra scienziati, teologi...

The current controversy over teaching evolution in the public schools has grabbed front-page headlines and topped news broadcasts all across the United States. In the Beginning investigates the movement that has ignited debate in state legislatures and at school board meetings. Reaching back to the origins of antievolutionism in the 1920s, and continuing to the promotion of intelligent design today, Michael Lienesch skillfully analyzes one of the most formidable political movements of the 20th century.

While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of other animals. For instance: the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. Female cichlids must guard their eggs and larvae--even from the hungry appetites of their own partners. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm longer than their own bodies to mate with females that outweigh them by four orders of magnitude. Why do these gender gulfs exist?

From the family to the workplace to the marketplace, every facet of our lives is shaped by cooperative interactions. Yet everywhere we look, we are confronted by proof of how difficult cooperation can be - snarled traffic, polarized politics, overexploited resources, social problems that go ignored. The benefits to oneself of a free ride on the efforts of others mean that collective goals often are not met. But compared to most other species, people actually cooperate a great deal. Why is this?

Roughgarden rejects both junk science based on spurious metaphors and junk religion based on spurious theology. In their place, she offers an inspiring accommodation between thoughtful science and compassionate religion.

Alla luce delle ricerche più recenti, l'audiolibro introduce i fondamenti della teoria evoluzionistica - formulata da Charles Darwin più di un secolo e mezzo fa - al cui centro stanno tre spinte concomitanti: le sorgenti di variazione, la trasmissibilità di una parte di questa variazione di generazione in generazione, l'azione della selezione naturale nei mutevoli contesti ecologici. Ripercorre poi gli altri meccanismi che oggi integrano ed estendono il nucleo darwiniano della teoria, fino alla comparsa di Homo sapiens, un ramoscello nel ricco "cespuglio" degli ominini.

Una storia prima della storia. Ossa fossili, denti, manufatti, siti preistorici e dati genetici per ricostruire l'evoluzione di un gruppo di scimmie antropomorfe che, intorno a 6 milioni di anni fa, in Africa, intrapresero l'intricato percorso evolutivo che diede origine alla nostra specie.

Rethinking Evolution links Darwin's early insights to the molecular realm inside living cells. This updated evolutionary synthesis provides an accessible explanation for biological complexity that cuts through the confusion surrounding evolutionary theory in a practical way. In addition to a wide-ranging survey of proposed updates to the modern synthesis, this title provides extraordinary new insights, including emergent evolutionary potential and the generative phenotype.

KI wird unseren Arbeitsmarkt verändern, doch das ist nicht das Problem: Unser Sozialleben macht uns zum Menschen. Doch wenn unser bester Freund eine KI ist – haben wir dann noch eins? Karsten Brensing wirft einen Blick auf den Einzug von KI in die Mitte unserer Gesellschaft. Die Veränderungen werden vor allem auch unser Sozialleben betreffen. Tierisch glücklich sein in einer komplexen Welt. Trotz seiner mentalen Leistungsfähigkeit und des technischen Fortschritts ist der Mensch im Laufe der Evolution nicht gleichsam zufriedener geworden.

Dive into the depths of human connection with 'Nurturing Friendships: Building Meaningful Connections', a groundbreaking exploration into the intricate interplay between genetics and culture. In this illuminating essay, the author delves into uncharted territory, dissecting the evolution of human psychology from the lens of genetic adaptation amidst cultural shifts.

Научившись "читатa" ДНК не только современного Homo sapiens, но и наших далеких предков, мы получили возможность совершать путешествия во времени. В этой книге ведомый генетиком-антропологом Эвелин Эйер читатель пройдет теми же путями, какими передвигались наши исчезнувшие родственники — неандертальцы, денисовцы и загадочный степной народ, положивший начало всем индоевропейским языкам; проследует по следам бухарских евреев, войск Чингисхана и тысячи "королевских дочерей", отправленных Людовиком XIV заселять Новую Францию, взойдет на борт корабля, увозящего с родины африканских рабов.

You're invited to discover the wonder and drama of the history of the cosmos. Follow the journey of one proton who comes into existence at the beginning of creation and makes it all the way through history to today. By becoming a part of atoms and molecules that turn up at some of the universe's most important moments, our friend Proton witnesses emerging galaxies, the origin of life, evolution, the first human beings, the birth and life of Jesus, the beginnings of the Christian church, all the way up to the present day. Through it all, the plans of the Creator continue to unfold.

Le fondement de la biologie moderne – une des théories qui a le plus transformé notre vision du monde. Charles Darwin. La biologie moderne est née il y a 150 ans avec la théorie de l'évolution de Charles Darwin. Celle-ci apporte une vision nouvelle de la vie et de son histoire et explique de manière logique et unifiée la diversité du vivant.La théorie de la biologie moderne - Pierre-Henri Gouyon présente ici la théorie de l'évolution dans sa cohérence d'ensemble et ses développements les plus récents. Il répond ce faisant à nombre de questions.

¿De dónde venimos? ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Adónde vamos? A estas preguntas atemporales responde el reconocido genetista Lluís Quintana-Murci, mostrando cómo el incremento del conocimiento obtenido en las pasadas décadas por la genética de poblaciones ha transformado nuestro conocimiento de la especie.

Noi esseri umani possiamo dirci soddisfatti: siamo la specie dominante su questo pianeta, facciamo avanzare a grandi passi scienza e tecnologia e il nostro progresso sembra infinito. Abbiamo posto noi stessi e la nostra intelligenza al centro dell’universo e stiamo pensando di attribuirci un nuovo nome, Homo deus, per le nostre capacità quasi divine. Eppure, se osserviamo il nostro operato con occhio più disincantato, il nome che ci meritiamo davvero è Homo narcissus, in omaggio al nostro sfrenato egocentrismo e alla nostra incapacità di vederci come parte di un mondo che stiamo devastando.
