  Looking Down the Tree - The...

  We know much about our history from bones and DNA, but these studies do not tell us about the characteristics that are not preserved in the fossil record―the fleshy parts and behaviors. Looking Down the Tree applies evolutionary principles to understand the history of our species and the pressures of natural selection which led to our unique appearance and behaviors.Cruzan draws upon evidence from fossils, genomics, phylogenetics, coalescence theory, and the anatomy and physiology of our human ancestors and other animals to arrive at an understanding of the origin of human appearance and behavior. This evidence is discussed in the context of comparative biology, natural and sexual selection, evolutionary constraints, inbreeding and inclusive fitness, and genetic and cultural evolution.The story of our past that we piece together provides a novel view of how savanna habitats favored a unique set of adaptations. Other characteristics were outcomes of increasing brain size, which led to the birth of helpless infants that required years of childcare. We end this discussion with an evaluation of the importance of cultural evolution, as the transmission of skills and knowledge became ever-more important for human life. Like any other species, we discover that we are the product of the environments that our ancestors experienced.

  Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
  In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
  This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
  cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
  his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
  Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
  It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
  A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.
