Two leading scientists reveal how we became who we are and what we might become. When we think of evolution the image that likely comes to mind is the iconic straight - forward image of a primate morphing into a human being. Yet random events have played huge roles in determining the evolutionary histories of everything from lobsters to humans. However random genetic novelties are most likely to \"stick\" in small populations. It is mathematically unlikely to happen in large ones. With our enormous and seemingly inexorably expanding population humanity has fallen under the influence of the famous (or infamous) bell curve. This revelatory new book explores what the future of our species could hold while simultaneously revealing what we didn t become and what we won t become. A cognitively unique species our actions fall on a bell curve as well. Individuals may be saintly or evil narrow - minded or visionary. But it is possible not just for the species but for a person to be all of these things even in a single day. We all fall somewhere within the giant hyperspace of the human condition that these curves describe. The Accidental Homo Sapiens shows readers that though humanity now exists on this bell curve we are far from a stagnant species. Tattersall and De Salle reveal how biological evolution in modern humans has given way to a cultural dynamic that is unlike anything else the Earth has ever witnessed and that will keep life interesting perhaps sometimes too interesting for as long as we exist on this planet.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Accidental Homo Sapiens Genetics Behavior And Free Will\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Desalle Robert (American Museum Of Natural History)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781643130262\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/2\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Biodiversity","brand":"Desalle Robert (American Museum Of Natural History)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622450209073,"sku":"IN-G-9781643130262","price":22.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781643130262.jpg?v=1724720442","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781643130262-the-accidental-homo-sapiens-genetics-behavior-and-free-will","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
