Lucido e iluminador: la historia de la humanidad en un solo volumen.
Este es el fascinante relato de nuestra extraordinaria historia: de simios sin importancia a amos del mundo.

Hace 100.000 anos, al menos seis especies de humanos habitaban la Tierra. Hoy solo queda una, la nuestra: Homo sapiens.

Como logro nuestra especie imponerse en la lucha por la existencia? Por que nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos? Como llegamos a...

Con esta obra, Charles Darwin presento su teoria de la evolucion mediante la seleccion natural que, pasados mas de cien anos, continua siendo la base del estudio de la naturaleza para la biologia actual."

One of the main tenets of evolutionary biology is that organisms behave so as to maximize the number of genes that will be passed on to future generations. This leads to one of two effects: parental attention and altruistic behavior; or parents producing more offspring than they will likely raise. The latter instance further leads to acute competitions, frequently leading to deprivations and even death. This book details the theory, field experiments, and natural history of sibling rivalry across a broad sweep of animals and plants. The variety of information will appeal to both academics and...

How could something as seemingly transcendental as the human mind have arisen from far simpler material beginnings? This book provides a comprehensiveoverview of evolution from pre-life andearly life forms through increasing complexity to advanced cognitive systems using a new framework based ondynamic systems theory."

Biogeography has renewed its concepts and methods following important recent advances in phylogenetics, macroecology, and geographic information systems. In parallel, the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions has attracted the interests of numerous studies dealing with life-history traits evolution, community ecology, and evolutionary epidemiology. The Biogeography of Host-Parasite Interactions is the first book to integrate these two fields, using examples from a variety of host-parasite associations in various regions, and across both ecological and evolutionary timescales....
