The Evolution of Everything

Rezensionen / Stimmen

''Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution". In a brilliant tour-de-force, Brian Villmoare encourages us to shorten Dobzhansky's famous quote by deleting the words 'in biology'.' Volker Sommer, Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology, University College London 'This sweeping, erudite book will show you how nothing about the past -biological, anthropological, historical, or anything else- makes sense except in the light of evolutionary science. Its breathtaking 5-billion-year perspective will help you think about why almost everything to do with humanity is the way it is.' Daniel E. Lieberman, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University '... this splendid book intelligently complements existing big history works but from a fascinating biological perspective. ... Recommended.' T. Doran, Choice 'This is a fascinating book at the crossroads of astronomy, geology, biology, human behavior, world history and their major causal factors. ... This book will be of interest to those teaching courses on Big History, since it is the first book to take the approach of teaching it from a scientific point of view rather than a historical one.' Sybille C. Fritsch-Oppermann, Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology
