Sinossi

Neanderthal DNA explores the groundbreaking field of ancient DNA research and its profound impact on our understanding of human evolution. By analyzing Neanderthal fossils, scientists have uncovered surprising insights into our genetic makeup and the complex interactions between different hominid species. This book challenges the traditional view of human origins, suggesting that modern humans are not a homogenous group but rather a composite population shaped by interbreeding with Neanderthals and other archaic hominids. One intriguing discovery highlights how Neanderthal genes may influence our susceptibility to certain diseases, demonstrating the lasting legacy of these ancient relatives.

 
The book begins by tracing the history of paleoanthropology and the development of molecular biology techniques, setting the stage for understanding the significance of Neanderthal genomics. It then delves into the core evidence, presenting detailed analyses of Neanderthal genomes and comparing them with modern human DNA. Through comparative genomics and population genetics, the book reveals the geographic distribution of Neanderthal genes in modern populations and explores their potential functional roles. This interdisciplinary approach, linking genetics, anthropology, and archaeology, offers a richer understanding of prehistoric life and the forces that shaped our species.

    The Four-Dimensional Human -...

    You are a four-dimensional human. 
    Each of us exists in three-dimensional physical space. But, as a constellation of everyday digital phenomena rewires our lives, we are increasingly coaxed from the containment of our predigital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information, and global connection. 
    Our portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new sensitivities and sensibilities are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows, and anxieties of a networked world? And how do we live in public with these recoded private lives? 
    Laurence Scott―hailed as a "New Generation Thinker" by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC―shows how this four-dimensional life is dramatically changing us by redefining our social lives and extending the limits of our presence in the world. Blending tech philosophy with insights on everything from Seinfeld to the fall of Gaddafi, Scott stands with a rising generation of social critics hoping to understand our new reality. His virtuosic debut is a revelatory and original exploration of life in the digital age.

    Sauvage - My fight to end animal...

    A passionate animal lover, Jérôme Pensu denounces the trafficking of wild animals in France, which is worth hundreds of millions of euros every year; he explains the mechanisms at play, the scale of the problem and the techniques used by criminals to make their business prosper; he points out, with specific cases to back it up, the incredible impunity enjoyed by fraudsters; and he lists a series of proposals to put an end, at last, to this scandal that endangers biodiversity - in other words, us.
    Sauvage! tells of pink flamingos atrophied to enrich zoos, macaques sent to their deaths in the name of environmental preservation, reptiles tortured for the needs of unscrupulous pet shops. He also talks about massive laundering, unashamed regularization and euthanasia of felines... All wild animals are concerned. He also talks about concrete, precise, immediate solutions that could put a stop to this massacre. 
    Because wildlife trafficking in France is not inevitable. It's up to each and every citizen to take part in the public debate to put an end to this scandal, which is almost as profitable as dealing hard drugs, and even more harmful in the long term for our planet and the human species. This book is also here to explain that anything is still possible, if citizens, families and children become aware of the uncontrolled traffic.

    The Philosophy of Social Ecology...

    Murray Bookchin, Todd McGowan

    What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on: invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever expanding freedom. 
     
     
     
    Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, these essays take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.
