Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
ISBN: 9780465020416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ever since Darwin and The Descent of Man, the existence of humans has been attributed to our intelligence and adaptability. But in Catching Fire, renowned primatologist Richard Wrangham presents a startling alternative: our evolutionary success is the result of cooking. In a groundbreaking theory of our origins, Wrangham shows that the shift from raw to cooked foods was the key factor in human evolution. When our ancestors adapted to using fire, humanity began. Once our hominid ancestors began cooking their food, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew. Time once...

The Goodness Paradox: How Evolution Made Us Both More and Less Violent
ISBN: 9781781255841 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. 'A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical forebears, and contemporary neighbors' Steven Pinker 'A brilliant analysis of the role of aggression in our evolutionary history' Jane Goodall It may not always seem so, but day-to-day interactions between individual humans are extraordinarily peaceful. That is not to say that we are perfect, just far less violent than most animals, especially our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and their legendarily docile cousins, the Bonobo. Perhaps surprisingly, we...

Science and Conservation in African Forests: The Benefits of Longterm Research
ISBN: 9780521896016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Forests need apes as much as the apes need the forests. They are the gardeners of the forest - keystone species in the ecology of African and Southeast Asian forests, dispersing seeds, creating light gaps and pruning branch-tips whilst feeding. Their habitat comprises two of the planet's three major tropical forest blocks that are essential for global climate regulation. But the economic pressures that are destroying ape habitats are much greater than current available conservation finance. This unique case study from the Kibale national park illustrates how biological research has had...

In the Shadow of Man
ISBN: 9780547334165 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. World-renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall s account of her life among the wild chimpanzees of Gombe is one of the most enthralling stories of animal behavior ever written. Her adventure began when the famous anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey suggested that a long-term study of chimpanzees in the wild might shed light on the behavior of our closest living relatives. Accompanied by only her mother and her African assistants, she set up camp in the remote Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in Tanzania. For months the project seemed hopeless; out in the forest...

Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence
ISBN: 9780395877432 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Whatever their virtues, men are more violent than women. Why do men kill, rape, and wage war, and what can we do about it? Demonic Males offers startling new answers to these questions. Drawing on the latest discoveries about human evolution and about our closest living relatives, the great apes, the book unfolds a compelling argument that the secrets of a peaceful society may well be, first, a sharing of power between males and females, and second, a high level and variety of sexual activity, both homosexual and heterosexual. Dramatic, vivid, and sometimes shocking, but firmly...

Ecological Aspects of Social Evolution: Birds and Mammals
ISBN: 9780691638324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Seeking common principles of social evolution in different taxonomic groups, the contributors to this volume discuss eighteen groups of birds and mammals for which long-term field studies have been carried out.
