Summary

Nomadic Adaptations explores how nomadic peoples across the globe, from desert nomads to arctic nomads, have thrived in diverse and challenging environments. The book highlights their remarkable ingenuity and resilience, demonstrating that their success hinges on a complex interplay of environmental knowledge, social organization, and technological innovation. For instance, desert nomads developed sophisticated water management techniques, while grassland nomads mastered pastoral strategies using horses and livestock.

 
The book progresses through chapters focusing on desert, grassland, and tundra/arctic nomads, revealing common threads of environmental awareness, social cohesion, and technological inventiveness. It challenges common misconceptions by portraying nomadic life not as primitive, but as a dynamic and sophisticated response to environmental constraints. In fact, tundra nomads skillfully use animal products for clothing and shelter.

 
This study offers valuable insights into sustainable living practices, often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives, connecting to fields like anthropology, ecology, and climate science.

The Human Gene Editing Debate

John H. Evans

In 2018 the first genetically modified babies were reportedly born in China, made possible by the invention of CRISPR technology in 2012. This controversial advancement overturned the pre-existing moral consensus, which had held for over fifty years before: while gene editing an adult person was morally acceptable, modifying babies, and thus subsequent generations, crossed a significant moral line. If this line is passed over, scientists will be left without an agreed-upon ethical limit. What do we do now? 
 
 
 
John H. Evans here provides a meta-level guide to how these debates move forward and their significance to society. He explains how the bioethical debate has long been characterized as a slippery slope, with consensually ethical use at the top, nightmarish dystopia at the bottom, and specific agreed-upon limits in between, which draw the lines between the ethical and the unethical. Evans frames his analysis around these limits, or barriers. He examines the history of how barriers were placed, then fell, then replaced by new ones, and discusses how these insights inform where the debate may head. He evaluates other proposed barriers relevant to where we are now, projects that most of the barriers suggested by scientists and bioethicists will not hold, and cautiously identifies a few that could serve as the moral boundary for the next generation.
