Produktinformationen zu „Genesis “
Forming a twenty-first-century statement on Darwinian evolution, one shorn of "religion and political dogma," Edward O. Wilson offers a bold work of scientific thought and synthesis.
Klappentext zu „Genesis “
Asserting that religious creeds and philosophical questions can be reduced to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that the human body and mind have a physical base obedient to the laws of physics and chemistry, Genesis demonstrates that the only way for us to fully understand human behaviour is to study the evolutionary histories of non-human species. Of these, Wilson demonstrates that at least seventeen - among them the African naked mole rat and the sponge- dwelling shrimp - have been found to have advanced societies based on altruism and cooperation. Whether writing about midges who "dance about like acrobats" or schools of anchovies who protectively huddle "to appear like a gigantic fish" or proposing that human society owes a debt of gratitude to "postmenopausal grandmothers" and "childless homosexuals," Genesis is a pithy yet path-breaking work of evolutionary theory, braiding twenty-first-century scientific theory with the lyrical biological and humanistic observations for which Wilson is known.
