Beschreibung: | "A Shearwater book." Includes bibliographical references and index 1. Darwin's legacy and Mendel's mechanism -- 2. The entangled bank -- 3. Our distant past -- 4. Of genes and culture -- 5. Cultural evolution : how we relate to one another -- 6. Perception, evolution, and beliefs -- 7. The ups and downs of populations -- 8. History as cultural evolution -- 9. Cycles of life (and death) -- 10. Ecosystems and human domination of Earth -- 11. Consumption and its costs -- 12. A new imperative -- 13. Altering the global atmosphere -- 14. Energy : are we running out of it? -- 15. Saving our natural capital -- 16. Governance : tackling unanticipated consequences "Over millions of years and through countless genetic twists and turns, humanity has evolved into the dominant animal. We have populated the globe, reshaped most landscapes, eradicated myriad populations and species of other organisms, and even transformed the oceans and climate." "The vast environmental changes we have produced and the intricate cultures we have created are now shaping evolution. From the complex workings of our genes to what we eat and how we govern ourselves, we are changing our world and our world is changing us. We are creating our future. But what kind of future will it be?" "Renowned scientists and thinkers Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich tackle that fundamental question in this exploration of evolution, environment, and culture. The Dominant Animal is a scientific field trip across time and space, from the microscopic to the global. The Ehrlichs weave together the theories of Darwin, empirical studies of fruit flies, lizards, and disease, the fossil record, the psychology of perception and belief systems, the nature of the human genome, and the power of culture and environment into a single illuminating thread."--Jacket |

Governance : tackling unanticipated consequences "Over millions of years and through countless genetic twists and turns, humanity has evolved into the dominant animal. We have populated the globe, reshaped most landscapes, eradicated myriad populations and species of other organisms, and even transformed the oceans and climate." "The vast environmental changes we have produced and the intricate cultures we have created are now shaping evolution. From the complex workings of our genes to what we eat and how we govern ourselves, we are changing our world and our world is changing us. We are creating our future. But what kind of future will it be?" "Renowned scientists and thinkers Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich tackle that fundamental question in this exploration of evolution, environment, and culture. The Dominant Animal is a scientific field trip across time and space, from the microscopic to the global. The Ehrlichs weave together the theories of Darwin, empirical studies of fruit flies, lizards, and disease, the fossil record, the psychology of perception and belief systems, the nature of the human genome, and the power of culture and environment into a single illuminating thread."--Jacket Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Evolution swd Hominisation swd Mensch swd Tiere swd SOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Geography bisacsh Human-animal relationships fast Human beings / Effect of environment on fast Human evolution fast Geschichte Human beings Effect of environment on History Human evolution Human-animal relationships History Evolution (DE-588)4071050-6 gnd rswk-swf Umweltveränderung (DE-588)4304982-5 gnd rswk-swf Hominisation (DE-588)4072613-7 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 gnd rswk-swf Tiere (DE-588)4060087-7 gnd rswk-swf Umweltfaktor (DE-588)4124348-1 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 s Evolution (DE-588)4071050-6 s Geschichte z 1\p DE-604 Tiere (DE-588)4060087-7 s 2\p DE-604 Umweltfaktor (DE-588)4124348-1 s 3\p DE-604 Hominisation (DE-588)4072613-7 s Umweltveränderung (DE-588)4304982-5 s 4\p DE-604 Ehrlich, Anne H.
