| Zusammenfassung: | 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 |

Living in a dangerous climate 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 Klimaänderung Human beings / Effect of climate on Human evolution Climatic changes Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 gnd rswk-swf Evolution (DE-588)4071050-6 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 gnd rswk-swf Menschheit (DE-588)4169436-3 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 gnd rswk-swf Völkerwanderung (DE-588)4188482-6 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 s Evolution (DE-588)4071050-6 s Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 s 1\p DE-604 Menschheit (DE-588)4169436-3 s Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 s 2\p DE-604 Völkerwanderung (DE-588)4188482-6 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-01725-2 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-69473-6 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139083607 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
