Living in a Dangerous Climate
Living in a Dangerous Climate provides a journey through human and Earth history, showing how a changing climate has affected human evolution and society. Why did all other Homo species go extinct while Homo sapiens became dominant? Is it possible for humanity to evolve quickly, or is slow, gradual, genetic evolution the only way we change?
Do today's dominant societies – devoted as they are to Darwinism and 'survival of the fittest' – contribute to our current failure to meet the hazards of a dangerous climate? How did agriculture, domestication and the use of fossil fuels affect humanity's growing dominance? Unique and thought provoking, the book links scientific knowledge and perspectives of evolution, climate change and economics in a way that is accessible and exciting for the general reader.
The book is also valuable for courses on climate change, human evolution and environmental science.
