If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell). What have these organisms—bacteria, animals, plants, and the rest—done in all this time? In Living on Earth, the philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a new way of understanding how the actions of living beings have shaped our planet.

Historia
If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell). What have these organisms—bacteria, animals, plants, and the rest—done in all this time? In Living on Earth, the philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a new way of understanding how the actions of living beings have shaped our planet.

In this glorious celebration of the night, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside, and embrace the dark as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit. Because no matter where we live, we are surrounded by animals that rise with the moon, and blooms that reveal themselves as light fades. Henion explores her home region of Appalachia, where she attends a synchronous firefly event in Tennessee, a bat outing in Alabama, and a moth festival in Ohio.

Humans, it turns out, are intrinsically wired to seek short-term success at the expense of long-term prosperity. Kristian Rönn, an entrepreneur formerly affiliated with the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, calls these deeply rooted impulses “Darwinian demons.” These forces, a by-product of natural selection, can lead us to act in shortsighted ways that harm others—and even imperil our survival as a species. If this evolutionary glitch is left unchecked, the consequences will grow in magnitude as the power of technology accelerates.

In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear.

Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves.

Solemos pensar que nuestro cerebro lo controla todo, pero el resto de nuestros órganos –el corazón, el hígado, los pulmones, los riñones o el intestino– también tienen memoria neuronal y mucho que ver con lo que sentimos, lo que padecemos y cómo expresamos estas emociones. Descubre cómo funciona la química de la felicidad y aprenderás que, a menudo, eres más lo que sientes que lo que piensas. El cerebro es muy inteligente, pero no tan listo como se cree: está en tu mano conseguir que tu mente no te domine, sino que seas tú quien la controle a ella, para así lograr lo que te propongas.

Charles Darwin escribió El Origen del Hombre en 1871, donde aplicó sus ideas evolutivas a la comprensión de la historia humana. En este libro, Darwin aplicó los principios de su teoría evolutiva, como la selección natural y la descendencia con modificaciones, a la comprensión de la historia evolutiva de la especie humana. Darwin argumentó que los humanos compartían un ancestro común con otros primates, basándose en evidencias anatómicas, fósiles y comportamentales.

Un libro que invita a reflexionar sobre el cerebro y la esencia de nuestra humanidad. En este libro el autor se ocupa de ciertos aspectos del origen de nuestras ideas, sobre la estructura del cerebro y su relación entre creatividad artística y cognición, temas que representan un puente muy interesante entre la ciencia y la filosofía. Con una sugerente narración, el autor utiliza numerosas obras y pensamientos de artistas y escritores como metáforas para saltar del mundo del arte al de la ciencia y viceversa, y para que al mismo tiempo sirvan de inspiración al lector para meditar sobre la naturaleza del cerebro, la esencia de nuestra humanidad.

How can we differentiate between a mechanical android versus one with synthetic skin? Are robots simply advanced machines that serve as tools for humanity? Will they eventually join the fabric of human society as our agents, advisors, assistants, maids, nurses, and partners? Will they be our servants, equals or superiors? Will we merge with them to become human-robot hybrids?

In Anima, Kapka Kassabova introduces us to the "pastiri" people—the shepherds struggling to hold on to an ancient way of life in which humans and animals exist in profound interdependence. Following her three previous books set in the Balkans, and with an increasing interest in the degraded state of our planet and culture, Kassabova reaches further into the spirit of place than she ever has before. In this extraordinary portrayal of pastoral life, she investigates the heroic efforts to sustain the oldest surviving breeds of our domesticated animals,.

Spitzenforscher sind sich einig: Auch mit Mitte 90 noch fit zu sein, kann Standard werden. Und 120 Jahre Leben wird für viele Menschen erreichbar – schon für die jetzt geborenen Generationen. Doch was müssen wir tun, um nicht nur länger zu leben, sondern auch länger gesund zu bleiben? Thomas Schulz, langjähriger SPIEGEL-Korrespondent im Silicon Valley, hat mit Konzernchefs und Spitzenforscherinnen, AI-Koryphäen und Medizinerinnen gesprochen.
