Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery. At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?

Inevitably, life on Earth will come to an end, whether by climate disaster, cataclysmic war, or the death of the sun in a few billion years. To avoid extinction, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to inhabit. In this provocative and fascinating book, Christopher Mason argues that we have a moral duty to do just that.

Threatened by a global pandemic and by climate change, very many people fear we are facing an existential crisis. The Future of Humankind shows why these fears are unfounded and why we should be optimistic about our long-term future. It evaluates current major predictions for our future in three categories: (1) Extinction by natural disasters (including pandemics), by nuclear war or accident, by artificial intelligence, or by population explosion and climate change. (2) Survival by colonizing space or by extending individual healthspans and achieving immortality. (3) Transformation by ...

Voor de bestudering van gedragsevolutie zijn we aangewezen op eigentijdse experimenten en vergelijkingen met dieren. Op basis van de neodarwinistische evolutietheorie kan aangetoond worden hoe het gedrag van mens en dier zich ontwikkelt als gevolg van de strijd om het bestaan en de overleving van de geschiktste. Door het grote voortplantingsvermogen en de beperkte draagkracht van het milieu ontstaat er concurrentie. De verschillen in eigenschappen zijn erfelijk en daardoor ontstaat er een natuurlijke selectie van "betere" eigenschappen.

Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries.

PROBLEM: Six in ten adults now live with at least one chronic disease, and poor diet can accelerate your biological age by up to seven years. Genes matter— but what you do with them matters even more. AGITATION: Cutting-edge studies (2023-2025) show that everyday choices switch on or silence more than 20 000 genes linked to longevity, immunity and metabolism. When the wrong nutrients disrupt your methylation cycle, harmful homocysteine rises, health declines and aging speeds up. SOLUTION: In Epigenetic Nutrition, clinical nutritionist Curro Clavero reveals science-backed protocols to ...

For the first time in over ten millennia, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. The global population is forecast to begin declining in the second half of this century, and in 10,000 years’ time, our species will likely be extinct.

Tim Coulson – Professor of Zoology at Oxford – takes us back to the beginning of everything: the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. From there, he leads us step by step along the path to the most astonishing thing we have yet encountered – the staggering complexity of the modern human mind. Covering physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, the emergence of life, evolution, consciousness and the rise of humankind, yet written to be understood by anyone with a child’s curiosity, this book takes the biggest story of all and tells it simply, grippingly and, above all, entertainingly.

EL ORIGEN DE LAS ESPECIES • CHARLES DARWIN Charles Darwin, al publicar su obra El origen de las especies en 1859, presentó su teoría de la evolución mediante la selección natural que, pasados ciento cincuenta años, continúa siendo la base de la interpretación de la naturaleza de la biología moderna. El libro tuvo un gran éxito desde su primera edición, suscitó grandes polémicas y su influencia se hizo notar no sólo en la comunidad científica, sino también en toda la sociedad.

And then came Homo Erectus―the upright monkey―and the Ducati Girl (A fictitious character doing the questioning). The original theory on the evolution of man is still uncertain; evolutionists couldn't agree on the real face of all these homos, and after all this fuss, life seems to have started all of the sudden, out of nowhere; fossils are the testimonies, right? The Ducati Girl is skeptical and she wants answers. Can the truth be revealed?

This short book, only 8,000 finely crafted words, is destined to be one of the most cited and influential modern treatises on atheism and secular humanism. It focuses squarely on the inherent irrationality of religion, and reveals its utter irreconcilability with science. Offering several "reconciliation theories" to people of faith, it forces every reader to make a choice. Contents The Reason Revolution in historical context Questioning belief Reasons for skepticism Secular humanism as an alternative worldview Political implications of atheism The collapse of religion Hopeful predictions ...

Destiny’s Child No Longer: Rewriting Genetic Fate invites readers to imagine a world where the genetic hand dealt at birth is no longer a fixed destiny. For millennia, our lives have been shaped by the silent lottery of DNA, a microscopic shuffle that determines health, risk, and potential before our first breath. But with the arrival of advanced genetic medicine, we now stand at the threshold of a new era, one where the mysteries of our genes can be decoded and, remarkably, rewritten. The book opens with a vivid exploration of this transformation, blending the latest scientific ...

"Intelligent Designer: Evolution for Politicians" is a book that brings badly needed help for a nation in desperate need of science literacy in high places. The litmus test for scientific literacy in public office is provided by the word "evolution," which rarely, if ever, fails to reveal an elected official's understanding of the way science operates, our evidence for what the Earth is really like, and even the meaning of the word "theory." If your elected official has a Kindle, this book will prevent him or her from appearing completely ignorant on issues ranging from science education to...
