9780713993486: Children of Prometheus: The Accelerating Pace of Human Evolution

Synopsis

Are we still evolving? Or has our mastery of the environment stopped evolution in its tracks? In CHILDREN OF PROMETHEUS, Wills gives a surprising answer: that our evolution is actually accelerating. Spurred by a rapidly changing environment, and acting on our ever-expanding gene pool, Wills argues that natural selection will take us into uncharted territory. Whether we are wiring our brains into vast electronic webs, or taking 'smart drugs' that alter the brain's biochemical structure, Willsoffers exciting glimpses into our accelerating evolution. CHILDREN OF PROMETHEUS reveals a human future rich with the promise of increased cultural and gentic diversity.
