Evolution is one of the most important processes in life. It not only explains the detailed history of life on earth, but its scope also extends into many aspects of our own contemporary behavior-who we are and how we got to be here, our psychology, our cultures-and greatly impacts modern advancements in medicine and conservation biology. Perhaps its most important claim for science is its ability to provide an overarching framework that integrates the many life sciences into a single unified whole. Yet, evolution-evolutionary biology in particular-has been, and continues to be, regarded with suspicion by many. Understanding how and why evolution works, and what it can tell us, is perhaps the single most important contribution to the public perception of science.
This book provides an overview of the basic theory and showcases how widely its consequences reverberate across the life sciences, the social sciences and even the humanities. In this book, Robin Dunbar uses examples drawn from plant life, animals and humans to illustrate these processes. Evolutionary science has important advantages. Most of science deals with the microscopic world that we cannot see and invariably have difficulty understanding, but evolution deals with the macro-world in which we live and move. That invariably makes it much easier for the lay audience to appreciate, understand and enjoy. Evolution: What Everyone Needs to Know takes a broad approach to evolution, dealing both with the core theory itself and its impact on different aspects of the world we live in, from the iconic debates of the nineteenth century, to viruses and superbugs, to human evolution and behavior.

The vast complexity of all of our organic human organisations & processes; how they have evolved over tempus; their intricate operation; in which we live, move & have our being; is also truly remarkable. Ethical adjudication, norms, culture, the family, cooperation, trade, art, markets, politics, society, language, cognition & knowledge-transmission in cultures, etc. We comprehend parts - but only partially, not the organic whole. That’s why, when they are clumsily interfered with - like any delicate, nuanced ecosystem - they can calamitously collapse.

The narrator is the worst I’ve ever encountered. I instantly sent this to the recycle bin. Yes he’s that bad.

Thank you

Robotic narration!

Unlistenable; shame!

@pbcaddy, I agree with you on the narrator and the author gets too far into the minutia of genetics. Not recommended for a general audience. Boring.

@caesar963, my god you are an insufferable wind-bag

Never, of course, gets into the actual origin of life, for which there is no materialist explanation. Evolution is a mislabelling of plain old DNA based adaptive capacity.

@caesar963 This definition of Tempus, which you so arrogantly & incorrectly used is thus:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tempus

“Thus” - yeah, right. You’re not very good at this, are ya? And proven awful at elementary definitions. Even the reference you (or someone else) managed to find confirms my usage - from the Latin - “time” - ever hear of “Latin?” Consequently, this means you are, a fortiori, a greater eejit than even you imagined.
Did you actually read your own reference? Did you understand it? No.
Oy…
