Adapt or die: its natures most famous imperative. But how does evolution actually happen? Its too slow to see, but its going on all around you, all the time. Even if youre on top of the key terms variation? Natural selection? Parent-offspring conflict? you still need some context to put them in. From populations to speciation and polymorphism to evolutionary psychology, heres the one-stop source for all you need to know. Evolution unlocks the laboratory of life, dissecting it into the 50 most significant topics that provide the missing links to understand the natural worlds four-billion-year ancestry and the process of natural selection in which species either adapt in myriad ways mutation, ingenuity, and intelligence to meet the challenges of a changing environment, or die. Unravel the development of living organisms, at micro and macro level from genes to geniuses.

De onde viemos? O que somos? Para onde vamos? Essas perguntas fundamentais so o ponto de partida deste livro. Em busca das respostas, o autor se concentra na complexa vida social atingida por insetos como formigas, abelhas e cupins, e por pouquissimos mamiferos - entre eles os seres humanos. Em comum, esses organismos tem um pre-requisito essencial a formaço de sociedades avançadas: a necessidade de se fixar em um ninho e defende-lo de inimigos. No caso dos seres humanos, esses ninhos so acampamentos, aldeias, cidades. O que nos permitiu chegar a uma organizaço social ainda mais complexa e um corpo avantajado com um cerebro grande e desenvolvido, caracteristicas que possibilitaram ao homem pre-historico dominar o fogo e se embrenhar por caminhos tecnologicos. A grande preocupaço do pai da sociobiologia neste livro e elucidar os mecanismos evolutivos por tras do surgimento das gigantescas sociedades de formigas e da cultura de nossa especie. Esta ai, para ele, o cerne da natureza humana. Edward O. Wilson e um mestre em fazer grandes sinteses de ideias. É o que fez quando publicou Sociobiology, em 1975, e e o que volta a fazer agora, quando reune ciencias biologicas e humanas para rever o papel da seleço de parentesco e sustentar a area de pesquisa que ele mesmo liderou. Seja para entender como a seleço natural sobre o desempenho de grupos pode influenciar a evoluço social de uma especie, para discordar ou contribuir nos rumos propostos pelo autor, este livro e leitura essencial. E, quem sabe, esteja na origem de uma linha de pensamento em ascenso.

Desde hace milenios, las más diversas y poderosas civilizaciones humanas se han sentido elegidas por las divinidades, depositarias de la verdad y de derechos de abuso y explotación. El gran clasificador Carl Linneo denomino homo sapiens a seres especializados en el saqueo y la devastacion, colocandolos en la cima de la piramide evolutiva. A la vista de los resultados, tal vez sapiens solo sea la ensoñacion taxonomica de una especie que aun estaria por llegar.Las ciencias, tecnologias, artes, politicas o pensamiento que en sus fundamentos no incorporen sus propias especificidades devolucionarias, respecto a lo historicamente expoliado, solo contribuiran a la barbarie civilizada, a la prorroga del silencio, al exterminio de los recursos y de la diferencia.La desclasificacion aporta, al ideal devolucionario, modalidades abiertas, plurales y particularmente contradictorias, de pensar y conocer.El autor recoge, en varios centenares de ejercicios desclasificados y cuatro ensayos sinteticos sobre desclasificacion, reflexiones e intuiciones, tan cargadas de dramatismo y autocritica como de humor o ironia, fraguadas en una racionalidad paraconsistente y, por ello, radicalmente sensible.

Cuando Lewis Carroll escribió Alicia en el País de las Maravillas y su continuación, Alicia a través del espejo, no creó un mundo de fantasía tan alejado del nuestro. Pocos lectores conocen que Carroll era matematico especializado en logica y que introdujo en su obra fenomenos aparentemente fantasticos, pero que en realidad respondian a principios cientificos. Durante decadas, Alicia en el pais de la maravillas ha sido estudiada desde el punto de vista de la psicologia, la filosofia y la fisica e incluso le sirvio a Leigh van Valen para bautizar una ley biogenetica, el Efecto Reina Roja, en referencia al celebre personaje del cuento. En este libro, el paleontologo Jordi Agusti ha realizado un minucioso trabajo para desvelar los principios de la evolucion que escondio Carroll dentro de su obra. Para lograrlo, ha reescrito el cuento original para dar una explicacion cientifica, sencilla y comprensible, a cada situacion a la que se enfrenta Alicia. Asi, en el maravilloso Pais dela Evolucion que ha construido caben tanto el Gato de Cheshire y el Conejo Blanco, como las leyes geneticas que explican el crecimiento en el jardin de las flores, e incluso personajes nuevos, como Charles Darwin o Stephen Jay Gould, que dialogan con Alicia. Todo ello sin perder la constante ironia y los matices presentes en el cuento original.

Esta autobiografía de Charles Darwin se publicó en su primera edición censurada por la familia (especialmente por sus opiniones sobre la religión), y sólo en la década de 1950 se recuperó la versión integra, sin recortes, que publicamos aqui. Los pasajes censurados aparecen en negrita."Un editor aleman me escribio pidiendome un informe sobre la evolucion de mi mente y mi caracter escribe Darwin, junto con un esbozo autobiografico, y pense que el intento podria entretenerme y resultar, quiza, interesante para mis hijos o para mis nietos. [...] He intentado escribir el siguiente relato sobre mi propia persona como si yo fuera un difunto que, situado en otro mundo, contempla su existencia retrospectivamente, lo cual tampoco me ha resultado dificil, pues mi vida ha llegado casi a su final".Este libro es "uno de mis dos textos preferidos de Darwin" (Jose Manuel Sanchez Ron, El Pais, Babelia)."Un libro muy hermoso, una obra breve, concisa, esencial, pacifica, emotiva, pero en la que Darwin no hizo dejacion de sostener aquello en lo que creia y en lo que no" (Miguel Sanchez-Ostiz, Diario de Noticias)."Un librito amable y modesto [...], un texto encantador" (Rosa Montero, El Pais, Babelia).

Descubre las herramientas, paso a paso, etapa por etapa, que te ayudarán a lograr que tu hijo descanse adecuadamente, a través de la observación, la interpretación apropiada de sus necesidades y el conocimiento de su individualidad. Este libro no esta escrito por un experto o experta pediatra, psicologo o especialista en alguna unidad del sueño, sino por alguien que, como vosotros, busco la solucion a noches enteras sin dormir, que arrastro meses de sueño y agotamiento increibles, que oyo llantos durante horas con desesperacion y acabo llorando con su bebe. Porque yo he pasado por todo esto y por mas. Porque cuando tuve a mi segundo bebe me mostro que tenia que volver a aprender muchas cosas y a ajustarme a otra personalidad, a otros niveles de necesidad. Tambien me he sentido culpable y asustada. Tambien he cometido errores Y es desde toda esta perspectiva, que quiero ofreceros otro modo de hacer las cosas, unas pautas coherentes, lejanas a los extremos, cercanas al corazon y al respeto por la individualidad de cada familia.
