  • The Heretic in Darwin’s Court

    The Life of Alfred Russel Wallace

    de Ross Slotten ...
    During their lifetimes, Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin shared credit and fame for the independent and near-simultaneous discovery of natural selection.

  • Evolving Human Nutrition

    Implications for Public Health

    Series Libro 64 - Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology

Despite this, we eat the products of industrialization and often suffer as a consequence. This book considers aspects of changing human nutrition from evolutionary and social perspectives. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be, how it has been ... Leer más

  • The Unpredictable Species

    What Makes Humans Unique

    The Unpredictable Species argues that the human brain evolved in a way that enhances our cognitive flexibility and capacity for innovation and imitation. In doing so, the book challenges the central claim of evolutionary psychology that we are locked into predictable patterns of behavior that were fixed by genes, and refutes the claim that language is innate. Philip Lieberman builds his case with ... Leer más
