  • The Galapagos

    A Natural History

    de Henry Nicholls ...
    Charles Darwin called it "a little world within itself." Sailors referred to it as "Las Encantadas"- the enchanted islands. Lying in the eastern Pacific Ocean, straddling the equator off the west coast of South America, the Galágos is the most pristine archipelago to be found anywhere in the tropics. It is so remote, so untouched, that the act of wading ashore can make you feel like you are the ... Leer más

He argues that our ancestors carved a niche ... Leer más

  • Snakes, Sunrises, and Shakespeare

    How Evolution Shapes Our Loves and Fears

    de Gordon H. Orians ...
    The eminent zoologist "extends his pioneering work in evolutionary biology" to examine "our preferences, predilections, fears, hopes, and aspirations" (Stephen R. Kellert, author of Birthright).Why do we jump in fear at the sight of a snake and marvel at the beauty of a sunrise? These impulsive reactions are no accident; in fact, many of our human responses to nature are steeped in our ... Leer más

This innovative text provides an up-to-date, authoritative, and challenging review of host ... Leer más

  • The Vinyl Enigma

    de Robert Love ...
    MIT engineering professor Evan Blake has discovered a strange object in London.

The previous owner, cellist and composer Nigel Thompson, had heard classical music coming from the same disc. Evan examines the device and finds highly advanced nanotechnology at work. He concludes ... Leer más

    Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution

    Edición de Benedikt Hallgrimsson Ph.D., Brian K. Hall Ph.D. ...

With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a ... Leer más

  • Social Anthropology and Human Origins

    de Alan Barnard ...
    The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating branches of anthropology. Yet it has rarely been considered by social or cultural anthropologists, who represent the largest subfield of the discipline. In this powerful study Alan Barnard aims to bridge this gap. Barnard argues that social anthropological theory has much to contribute to our understanding of human evolution, including ... Leer más

  • Not a Chimp

    The hunt to find the genes that make us human

    de Jeremy Taylor ...
    Humans are primates, and our closest relatives are the other African apes - chimpanzees closest of all. With the mapping of the human genome, and that of the chimp, a direct comparison of the differences between the two, letter by letter along the billions of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts of the DNA code, has led to the widely vaunted claim that we differ from chimps by a mere 1.6% of our genetic code. A ... Leer más
