Humans

The Darwin seminars at the LSE have become a crucial intellectual forum in recent years, attended by leading scientists, social scientists, journalists, film-makers, TV producers and writers as diverse as A S Byatt and Douglas Adams. The series "Darwinism Today" consists of a series of short books, each drawing on the content of one of the seminars and written by many of the leading figuresin the Darwinian revolution. In "Humans" Rob Foley, a leading Cambridge paleoanthropologist, writes on the latest understanding of human evolution, seen in the light of Darwinian pressures, and our subsequent understandings of human nature today.
