  Human Evolution - The Future

  John Cowley

  Ever since Charles Darwin wrote about the origin of species, there has been a great deal of argument and controversy over the evolution of humans.
  
  The author examines the evidence for the genetic basis of evolution in general and the influence of natural selection on the development of the human race.
  
  The focus of the book then turns to the question of what the future might hold for the further evolution of humans with particular reference to space exploration and the long-term effects of space travel.
  
  The human body is highly adapted in evolutionary terms to living under the influence of gravity and its absence can have some serious health consequences. Weightlessness and its effects on human physiology are only one aspect of space travel the returning astronauts have to deal with.
  
  Long space journeys will involve time discrepancies which, in extreme circumstances, result in astronauts returning to a changed world in which their peer group has already passed away and they find themselves amongst strangers.
  
  It is difficult to determine exactly what the psychological effects might be on returning voyagers, but it is likely to be quite traumatic.
  
  The author suggests the possibility that those who choose to become career astronauts will likely prefer to remain permanently living in space, and over time exposure to different selection pressures will result in a human variant given that both men and women will be equally drawn to scientific research and/or the adventure and excitement involved.

  Biocivilisations - A New Look at...

  Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.  
  What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.  
  The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.  
  In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.  
  Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.

  Emphasizing that YouTube isn't just a source of entertainment or information but can also be the launchpad for a professional career, this book views YouTube as a platform where everyone can author their own success story.  
  I launched my YouTube channel in English to reach a wider audience, choosing "Comedy History" as my niche.  
  My first video didn't go viral, so I adapted my strategy. I focused on countries with large YouTube user bases: India, the US, the Philippines, and the UK. With just $200, I used Google Ads to promote a video humorously reenacting historical events, targeting English-speaking viewers.  
  This approach led to 2,000 subscribers in 14 days, proving how strategic targeting and quality content can grow a channel even on a low budget.

  The Progress Illusion -...

  Jon D. Erickson

  In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
   
   
   
  While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.
