Download Children of Prometheus: The Accelerating Pace of Human Evolution AudioBook Free
Christopher Wills is Professor of Biology at the University or college of California. In his popular books, which include Yellow Fever, African american Goddess, he offers interesting insights in to the world of biological science and exactly how it affects our day to day lives. Children of Prometheus answers three basic but interesting questions: Are we still developing? If so, how? What exactly are we developing into? As Wills traces the countless forms of natural selection in Part I, he considers instances which range from Sherpas to British civil servants. Part II examines the stormy evolutionary history that changed us beyond chimpanzees and gorillas. The ultimate section looks forward to the sorts of diversity the future supports for our species even as we live longer and issue our intellects and systems in new ways. Obviously written, touched with humor, and soundly reasoned, Children of Prometheus will joy anyone who's curious about who we are and where we are going. Narrator Richard M. Davidson's lucid performance matches Christopher Wills' accessible work and its provocative conclusion.
