Steeped in a rich multitude of the sciences and humanities, the book enshrines an elegant narrative that is highly empathetic, personal, scientifically wide-ranging and original. It focuses on the geo-positioning of the human Self and its corresponding species. The book's overarching viewpoints and poignant through-story examine and powerfully challenge concepts associated historically with assertions of human superiority over all other life forms. Ultimately, The Hypothetical Species: Variables of Human Evolution is a deeply considered treatise on the ecological and psychological state of humanity and her options – both within, and outside the rubrics of evolutionary research – for survival. This important work is beautifully presented with nearly 200 diverse illustrations, and is introduced with a foreword by famed paleobiologist, Dr. Melanie DeVore.Evolutionary biologyNatureEnvironmentEnvironmental sciencesPhilosophyBiologyPhilosophyPhilosophy of natureEcology Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Popular Science in Nature and Environmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q16000Environmental Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U37000Philosophy of Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34010Philosophy of Naturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34040Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007Evolutionary biology.Nature.Environment.Environmental sciencesPhilosophy.BiologyPhilosophy.Philosophy of nature.Ecology .Evolutionary Biology.Popular Science in Nature and Environment.Environmental Philosophy.Philosophy of Biology.Philosophy of Nature.Ecology.573.2599.938Tobias Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut928457Morrison Jane Grayauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337952303321The Hypothetical Species2996768UNINA
