Opis
Other species adapt to their environments; we alone create ours. Over
generations, we have remade the world to suit ourselves - using improved
knowledge and technology to confront the traditional scourges - and for
the most part we enjoy prosperity beyond the dreams of our ancestors.
What's more, in changing our world, we have also reshaped the human
phenotype - the interaction between genes and environment that moulds
our bodies and minds.
The results can be seen in the streets of our post-industrial cities. We
are taller and heavier, and live longer. We think and behave
differently, and die from once-rare diseases. Our experiences of life
have been transformed, and in turn so have our societies.
Weaving together biology, social anthropology, epidemiology and history,
Edwin Gale examines the shifting physical and mental dimensions of our
lives, from ageing to illness, food production to reproduction, designer
bodies to IQ tests, and asks: are we a self-domesticated species?
