Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Carl Coon distills billions of years of natural and human history into a few beautifully-written pages in his new book, 'A Short History of Evolution'. Coon demonstrates why there is no need to believe in any magical force at work to explain how things came to be the way they are, and how e…verything has happened in accordance with a natural order of change. Not content to stop with the emergence of homo sapiens 50,000 years ago, Coon shows how processes akin to those of biological natural selection have shaped the growth of our civilization. Even war, with all its horrors, has had beneficial effects on our species as a whole (if not on the individuals immediately affected). At least as important as war, though, is 'altruism' - a naturally occurring phenomenon without which our species would never have survived. Treat yourself to a view from 50,000 feet of how we came to be the way we are.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In this succinct, highly readable overview of the evolution of human society, the author argues that the 21st century will witness a crucially important and difficult transition for the human race. Blending the disciplines of anthropology and evolutionary psychology with over thirty years of exper…ience in the diplomatic corps, Coon traces the evolution of the human tendency to divide others into two groups, 'us versus them.' People tend instinctively to behave altruistically toward members of their own in-group, and to react with suspicion, or even hostility, toward outsiders. He points out that complex human societies became possible only when cultural attitudes and mechanisms became accepted that encouraged individuals to define their in-groups in more expansive ways. Thus small kin-based bands grew into villages, kingdoms, and, eventually, the modern nation-state. Today, he argues, we have reached a stage where the whole world must be viewed as 'us,' for only a united world community can cope with today's global challenges.
