Jusqu'à récemment, les scientifiques se sont contentés d'étudier la norme mâle et nous ont livré ainsi moins de la moitié de l'histoire de l'évolution. Cette immense zone d'ombre ne relève pas seulement du sexisme ou d'un problème intellectuel : c'est un sujet de société et de santé publique, puisque, du fait de notre méconnaissance des corps biologiquement femelles, nous savons moins bien soigner les femmes que les hommes. On ne pouvait pas en rester là.

Eve meets Who We Are and How We Got Here in this exciting new examination of human evolution that puts motherhood at the center of the story. Seven million years ago, a pregnant, apelike ancestor to the whole of our species found a secluded space on the forest floor and began her labor. An hour...

Поражаясь красоте и многообразию окружающего мира, люди на протяжении веков гадали: как он появился? Каким образом сформировались планеты, на одной из которых зародилась жизнь? Почему земная жизнь основана на углероде и использует четыре типа звеньев в ДНК? Где во Вселенной стоит искать другие формы жизни, и чем они могут отличаться от нас? В этой аудиокниге собраны самые свежие ответы науки на эти вопросы. И хотя на переднем крае науки не всегда есть простые пути, автор честно постарался сделать все возможное, чтобы книга была понятна читателям, далеким от биологии.

Relato en primera persona del hallazgo que reescribió nuestra historia evolutiva, el descubrimiento de Homo antecessor Hace tan solo tres décadas pocos podían imaginar que una especie humana hallada y nombrada en la península ibérica por científicos españoles tuviera el honor de formar...

Una nueva manera de conocer la evolución humana: cómo nuestroorganismo se ha ido modificando para adaptarse y sobrevivir Hace seis millones de años, el entorno en el que vivían nuestros antepasados empezó a cambiar. La selva dio paso al bosque abierto y este a las praderas. La ocupación de...

In Star Trek, crew members travel to unusual planets, meet diverse beings, and encounter unique civilizations. Throughout these remarkable space adventures, does Star Trek reflect biology and evolution as we know it? What can the science in the science fiction of Star Trek teach us? In Live Long and Evolve, biologist and die-hard Trekkie Mohamed Noor takes fans on a fun, fact-filled scientific journey. Noor offers Trekkies, science-fiction fans, and anyone curious about how life works a cosmic gateway into introductory biology.

For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a "translation" for contemporary English listeners. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning.

From the former editor of Slate and CEO of Atlas Obscura comes the unbelievable story of “the Nobel Prize sperm bank” and the children it produced—“a superb book about the quest for genius and, ultimately, family” (Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Talking to Strangers)...

In The Genial Gene, Joan Roughgarden forcefully rejects ideas that have come to dominate the study of animal evolution. Building on her brilliant and innovative book Evolution's Rainbow, in which she challenged accepted wisdom about gender identity and sexual orientation, Roughgarden upends the notion of the selfish gene and the theory of sexual selection and develops a compelling and controversial alternative theory called social selection.

If we are, in part, a product of our genes, can free will exist? Incisive and engaging, this indispensable tour of evolutionary biology runs the gamut of contemporary debates, from science and religion to our place in the universe.

L'évolution du cerveau humain et la quête incessante d'énergie ont toujours été intimement liées, influençant non seulement nos comportements, mais aussi la manière dont nous élevons nos enfants et transformons notre cadre de vie. Depuis les premières migrations hors d'Afrique jusqu'aux révolutions agricoles et industrielles, biologie et culture n'ont cessé d'interagir. En façonnant leur environnement, les humains fabriquent en réalité leur propre évolution.

What do computers, cells, and brains have in common? Computers are electronic devices designed by humans; cells are biological entities crafted by evolution; brains are the containers and creators of our minds. But all are, in one way or another, information-processing devices. The power of the human brain is, so far, unequaled by any existing machine or known living being. Our brains have even allowed us to develop computers that are almost as powerful as the human brain itself. Arlindo Oliveira describes how advances in science and technology could enable us to create digital minds.

Impressive Deception offers an inside look at the deceiving portrayal of evolution by the media and in our public schools. DeeDee Briski uncovers the media bias that forms the basis of the worldview that has become the accepted view in our mainstream educational systems.

This (short) audiobook is about an encounter I had with the creature commonly known as Bigfoot in a remote northern part of California state in 2003. Before that night, I thought Bigfoot a remote possibility. I also thought I had a good marriage, confidence in all areas of my life, and never thought it possible to wet myself in fear - and not realize I was doing it when it happened. That night changed me profoundly and in ways I never thought possible. Think twice before you go looking for the giant, wild, hairy man, because you might just find him.

The author of Seven Daughters of Eve returns with a lively account of how all dogs are descended from a mere handful of wolves.  

Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called "evolutionary spirituality". Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in an audiobook whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it.  

Longlisted for the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A lively exploration of animal behavior in all its glorious complexity, whether in tiny wasps, lumbering elephants, or ourselves. For centuries, people have been returning to the same tired nature-versus-nurture debate...

From the big bang to the origin and evolution of intelligent life in a search for the meaning of human existence, Why Are We Here?, by author Bruce Brodie, offers a look at evolution and the future of life on the planet.
