Sinossi
In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Sapiens, a winner of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books shows how four tools enabled has us humans to control the destiny of our species
"A wondrous, visionary work." --Tim Flannery, scientist and author of the bestselling The Weather Makers
What enabled us to go from simple stone tools to smartphones? How did bands of hunter-gatherers evolve into multinational empires? Readers of Sapiens will say a cognitive revolution -- a dramatic evolutionary change that altered our brains, turning primitive humans into modern ones -- caused a cultural explosion. In Transcendence, Gaia Vince argues instead that modern humans are the product of a nuanced coevolution of our genes, environment, and culture that goes back into deep time. She explains how, through four key elements -- fire, language, beauty, and time -- our species diverged from the evolutionary path of all other animals, unleashing a compounding process that launched us into the Space Age and beyond. Provocative and poetic, Transcendence shows how a primate took dominion over nature and turned itself into something marvelous.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Bueno. : En la tradición de 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' y 'Sapiens', esta obra ganadora del Premio de la Royal Society para Libros de Ciencia explora cómo cuatro herramientas permitieron a los humanos controlar el destino de nuestra especie. Gaia Vince argumenta que los humanos modernos son el producto de una coevolución matizada de nuestros genes, entorno y cultura que se remonta a tiempos remotos. A través de cuatro elementos clave: fuego, lenguaje, belleza y tiempo, nuestra especie se separó del camino evolutivo de todos los demás animales, desatando un proceso compuesto que nos impulsó a la era espacial y más allá. 'Transcendence' muestra cómo un primate tomó el dominio sobre la naturaleza y se transformó en algo maravilloso.
