Oxygen and the Evolution of Life
ISBN: 9783642423840 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the interlaced histories of life and oxygen. It opens with the generation of oxygen in ancient stars and its distribution to newly formed planets like the Earth. Free O2 was not available on the early Earth, so the first life forms had to be anaerobic. Life introduced free O2 into the environment through the evolution of photosynthesis, which must have been a disaster for many anaerobes. Others found ways to deal with the toxic reactive oxygen species and even developed a much more efficient oxygen-based metabolism. The authors vividly describe how the introduction of O2...

Macroevolution: Explanation, Interpretation and Evidence
ISBN: 9783319150444 / Angielski / Twarda / 403 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is divided in two parts, the first of which shows how, beyond paleontology and systematics, macroevolutionary theories apply key insights from ecology and biogeography, developmental biology, biophysics, molecular phylogenetics and even the sociocultural sciences to explain evolution in deep time. In the second part, the phenomenon of macroevolution is examined with the help of real life-history case studies on the evolution of eukaryotic sex, the formation of anatomical form and body-plans, extinction and speciation events of marine invertebrates, hominin evolution and species...

Dispersing Primate Females: Life History and Social Strategies in Male-Philopatric Species
ISBN: 9784431554790 / Angielski / Twarda / 299 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why do females in male-philopatric species seem to show larger variation in their life history strategies than males in female-philopatric species? Why did females in human societies come to show enormous variation in the patterns of marriage, residence and mating activities? To tackle these important questions, this book presents the latest knowledge about the dispersing females in male-philopatric non-human primates and in human societies. The non-human primates that are covered include muriquis, spider monkeys, woolly monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and some species of...

Evolutionary Theory and the Creation Controversy
ISBN: 9783642443565 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Evolutionary theory addresses the phenomenon of the origin and diversity of plant and animal species that we observe. In recent times, however, it has become a predominant ideology which has gained currency far beyond its original confines. Attempts to understand the origin and historical development of human culture, civilization and language, of the powers of human cognition, and even the origin of the moral and ethical values guiding and constraining everyday life in human societies are now cast in an evolutionary context. In "Evolutionary Theory and the Creation Controversy" the author...

The Accidental Species: Misunderstandings of Human Evolution
ISBN: 9780226271200 / Angielski / Miękka / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea of a missing link between humanity and our animal ancestors predates evolution and popular science and actually has religious roots in the deist concept of the Great Chain of Being. Yet, the metaphor has lodged itself in the contemporary imagination, and new fossil discoveries are often hailed in headlines as revealing the elusive transitional step, the moment when we stopped being "animal" and started being "human." In The Accidental Species, Henry Gee, longtime paleontology editor at Nature, takes aim at this misleading notion, arguing that it reflects a profound...

International Science Between the World Wars: The Case of Genetics
ISBN: 9781138867963 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is international science and how does it function? This book answers these questions through a detailed study of international congresses on genetics held from 1899 to 1939. It presents a portrait of international science as a product of continuous interactions that involved scientists and their patrons within specific political, ideological, and disciplinary contexts. Drawing on a variety of archival sources - ranging from Stalin's personal papers to the records of the Gestapo and from the correspondence among scientists in different countries to the minutes of the Soviet government's...

How Evolution Produced The Religious Mind
ISBN: 9781502558527 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the past two decades, several good nonfiction writers have taken aim at the mental processes that underlie human religion. Their books sold well, but left their more incisive readers still wanting to know how evolution produced the religious mind. I have in hand the answer to that question. Here's the shortest possible summary: It is hard to accept at face value that religion, with its huge attendant costs to the species, could have emerged from the process of natural selection. As we all know, though, all of life's features result from evolution by natural selection. It cannot be...

Phylogenetics and Phylogeography: Integrated Studies
ISBN: 9781632395115 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Phylogenetic mapping based on geographical measures is perhaps one of the most vital parts of bioscience research. Constant environmental changes have led to a distribution of organisms on land and in water. The imbalance caused by overexploitation of key species is not only leading to their extinction, but an imbalance directly affecting the ecosystem. Hence, it becomes the duty of scientists to seek methods to restore balance and rescue the endangered species from non-existence. In order to accomplish this target, species-mapping, history traits and genetic variation must be thoroughly...

ISBN: 9781507625422 / Angielski / Miękka / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and other such facts, might come to the conclusion that each species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. Nevertheless, such a conclusion, even if well founded, would be unsatisfactory, until it could be shown how the innumerable species inhabiting this world have been modified, so as to acquire that perfection of...
