How is it that we came to be here? The search for answers to that question has preoccupied humans for millennia. Scientists have sought clues in the genes of living things, in the physical environments of Earth from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean, in the chemistry of this world and those nearby, in the tiniest particles of matter, and in the deepest reaches of space. In Islands of the Cosmos, Dale A. Russell traces a path from the dawn of...

In his new book The Strange Case of the Rickety Cossack, human paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall argues that a long tradition of "human exceptionalism" in paleoanthropology has distorted the picture of human evolution. Drawing partly on his own career-from young scientist in awe of his elders to crotchety elder statesman-Tattersall offers an idiosyncratic look at the competitive world of paleoanthropology, beginning with Charles Darwin 150 years...

Description
Around 370 million years ago, a distant relative of a modern lungfish began a most extraordinary adventure-emerging from the water and laying claim to the land. Over the next 70 million years, this tentative beachhead had developed into a worldwide colonization by ever-increasing varieties of four-limbed creatures known as tetrapods, the ancestors of all vertebrate life on land. This new edition of Jennifer A. Clack's groundbreaking book tells the...

En este libro aprenderemos de la mano de José M.ª Bermúdez de Castro lo que la ciencia ha podido averiguar hasta el momento sobre los procesos evolutivos que han conducido al hombre desde las densas selvas de África hasta la colonización de los cinco continentes. El llamado "proceso de hominización" trata de explicar tanto los cambios evolutivos como sus causas. Aprenderemos que esos cambios son ciertamente llamativos, pero no tan drásticos...

Description
This work uses a novel way to map ten major pulses of evolution between 4 billion years and 7.5 million years ago, from the start of life to the emergence of early humans. Rather than use the traditional, linear scale in which events bunch up toward the end, this work uses a logarithmic scale that expands our resolution as we come to the present. Thus, events can be spaced out evenly and seen more clearly, as well as revealing the logarithmic pacing...

Ensayo que trata temas ligados al evolucionismo, en relación con el cual se prodigan prejuicios e imprecisiones, como, por ejemplo, la idea de que los términos "evolucionismo" y "darwinismo" son sinónimos. Las teorías evolucionistas son en realidad múltiples. En el ensayo, el autor habla, entre otras cosas, del significado del término "caso", hace ver que la base de la investigación científica es siempre una postura filosófica y a veces también...

"After the extinction of dinosaurs and before the rise of humans, there existed another group of incredible creatures. Among its ranks were woolly rhinos, mastodons, sabre-tooth tigers, giant ground sloths, and many other spectacularly large animals that are no longer with us. Today, we think of these animals as part of a group known as "Pleistocene megafauna," named for the geological era in which they lived, also known as the Ice Age. In Vanished...
