Описание: While notions of human race have created some of the most profound and destructive divisions in modern western societies, this book argues that from a biological point of view races do not exist. It outlines that races are purely social constructs and addresses common misunderstandings for the general reader.
For much of the twentieth century it was assumed that genes alone mediate the transmission of biological information across generations and provide the raw material for natural selection. Yet, it's now clear that genes are not the only basis of heredity. In Extended Heredity, evolutionary biologists Russell Bonduriansky and Troy Day explore the latest research showing that what happens during our lifetimes--and even our parents' and grandparents' lifetimes--can influence the features of our descendants. Based on this evidence, Bonduriansky and Day develop an extended concept of heredity that upends ideas about how traits can and cannot be transmitted across generations, opening the door to a new understanding of inheritance, evolution, and even human health.

Описание: What is evolution and why do so many people find it difficult to understand? Understanding Evolution is a concise and accessible introduction to the core concepts of evolutionary theory, presented in the light of common conceptual obstacles. It shows that there is more than religious resistance to accepting evolution.
Описание: This book reveals the Nine Human Endeavors (NHE), which are the highly sophisticated behaviors that separate modern humans from early human species such as Neanderthals. The constructive use of this knowledge is the key to unleashing the untapped potential of individuals and organizations, and it opens the door to infinite possibilities for all of humanity. This book provides a comprehensive theory of human evolution that answers the unassailable questions of how and why humans evolved. As the story of human evolution unfolds, new anthropological concepts are presented, along with critical details such as the key psychological and physiological differentiators between modern humans and early humans. And a basic timeline of evolutionary events provides the context necessary for understanding the human condition. Many will be interested to learn the psychological factors that shaped the evolution of modern humans, including the Nine Human Delusions, which are the predicates for the Nine Human Endeavors. Upon learning the psychological factors, the astute reader will recognize that many of the psychological disorders that are commonly diagnosed today are not disorders, but are mechanisms within the psyche that evolved to serve an important purpose. This understanding will sponsor the development of more effective protocols, especially the protocols related to certain diagnoses such as those related to obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, bipolar, and schizophrenic conditions. Economists may be surprised to learn that the greater part of human evolution aimed to resolve the economic problems of scarcity and stagnation. The fact that five of the NHE are devoted to solving these critical problems provides the understanding that modern humans are economic creatures who depend on markets, trade, conservation, productivity, and technological innovation. Understanding these economic behaviors, and the evolutionary mechanisms of human behavior that are responsible for them will prove to be indispensable to many economists. Sociologists will recognize that each of the NHE aims to resolve certain aspects of social behavior. Criminologists will recognize that several mechanisms evolved to guide, control, and coerce highly civilized behaviors. And philosophers will recognize that the paradigm of human behavior presented in this book is the touchstone of wisdom that informs the purpose and meaning of life. Understanding Human Evolution reveals knowledge that is indispensable to the further development of individuals, organizations, and countries. This knowledge is for people of all walks of life, whether you are a scientist, philosopher, or theologian, or a seeker of the purpose and meaning of life. Indeed, there is something in this book that every human being will appreciate.

Описание: Did you know that about 10,000 years ago humans went through a radical change in lifestyle in what is now called the Agricultural Revolution? While this event propelled humans out of the stone age and into civilization it also ultimately catapulted us into our current way of life and into the chronic disease epidemic we have today. Western medicine sees our epidemic of disease as a problem that needs to be suppressed, but our chronic disease epidemic is really a symptom; a symptom of humans being removed from their natural environment in an evolutionary instant. Evolution is the most important part of biology that medicine forgot. In this book you will learn: Why most chronic disease is not genetic; The truth behind why our society is suffering from disease; How our epidemic of disease directly relates to the health of the planet; Strategies to right the ship, achieve better health, and save our species.
Описание: The post-Cold War era was characterised by both the recurrence of state wars and the spread of forms of organised violence other than wars. Asymmetric warfare between alliances led by the USA and groups of insurgents, such as those witnessed in Afghanistan and Iraq, coexist alongside domestic conflicts, such as that of former Yugoslavia and, more recently, Libya and Syria; and still other conflicts involving gangs, mafias or narco-traffickers. The massive military-industrial complexes conceived in the context of the threat of nuclear Armageddon are still there of course, but they now coexist with irregular armies of insurgents carrying out massacres through the use of light weapons and improvised explosives devices.This book oppose the idea that this situation prefigures the return to an anarchical, pre-political condition, by assuming that new wars are rather the product of the blurring of the public-private divide, induced by the end of the Cold War, together with globalisation. As a consequence, also the internal and external factors are blurred; and ever more permeable and elusive is becoming even the border between war and crime.Inside War goes beyond a state-centered analysis and adopts an interdisciplinary and multilayered approach, and is intended to foster the dialogue among researchers from different fields. It places war at the core of analysis, assuming that the reality of war is what we make of it; and that the only insurmountable limit to our comprehension of war is our way of knowing and representing it.Fabio Armao teaches courses in Politics and Globalisation Processes, and Criminal Systems. He has been Visiting Professor at Cornell University, and co-convenor of the Standing Group on Organized Crime, European Consortium for Political Research. Founding member of T.wai (Torino World Affair Institute), he is also member of the Editorial Board of ‘Global Crime’. His research interests and publications focus on international wars and geopolitics, on violent non-state actors and transnational organised crime, and on urban security.
