| Beschreibung: | "Living in a Dangerous Climate provides a journey through human and Earth history, showing how a changing climate has affected human evolution and society. Is it possible for humanity to evolve quickly, or is slow, gradual, genetic evolution the only way we change? Why did all other Homo species go extinct while Homo sapiens became dominant? How did agriculture, domestication, and the use of fossil fuels affect humanity's growing dominance? Do today's dominant societies - devoted as they are to Darwinism and "survival of the fittest" - contribute to our current failure to meet the hazards of a dangerous climate? Unique and thought provoking, the book links scientific knowledge and perspectives of evolution, climate change, and economics in a way that is accessible and exciting for the general reader. The book is also valuable for courses on climate change, human evolution, and environmental science"-- Provided by publisher. Includes bibliographical references and index |

Living in a Dangerous Climate provides an exciting and fast-paced journey
through human and Earth history, showing how a changing climate has af¬
fected human evolution and society. Is it possible for humanity to evolve quickly,
or is slow, gradual, genetic evolution the only way we change? Why did all other
Homo species go extinct while Homo sapiens became dominant? How did ag¬
riculture, domestication, and the use of fossil fuels affect humanity s growing
dominance? Do today s dominant societies
-
devoted as they are to Darwinism
and survival of the fittest
-
contribute to our current failure to meet the hazards
of a dangerous climate?
This book provides a unique and thought-provoking journey from early humans
evolutionary response to climate change, species extinctions, and societal down¬
falls to today s global crisis. It links scientific knowledge and perspectives of
evolution, climate change, and economics in
a way that is accessible and exciting for the
general reader. The book is also valuable for
courses on climate change, human evolution,
and environmental science.
