The book focuses on understanding the evolutionary origin of humans and their biological and cultural traits. The Human Condition is organized into three parts: Human Phylogenetic History and the Paleontological Record; Structure and Function of the Human Genome; and Cultural Evolution and the Uniqueness of Being Human. This fourth volume from the In the Light of Evolution (ILE) series, based on a series of Arthur M. Sackler colloquia, was designed to promote the evolutionary sciences. Each volume explores evolutionary perspectives on a particular biological topic that is scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to contemporary societal issues or challenges. Individually and collectively, the ILE series interprets phenomena in various areas of biology through the lens of evolution, addresses some of the most intellectually engaging as well as pragmatically important societal issues of our times, and fosters a greater appreciation of evolutionary biology as a consolidating foundation for the life sciences. 606 $aEvolution (Biology) -- Congresses 615 4$aEvolution (Biology) -- Congresses. 676 $a576.8 700 $aAvise$b John C$0531461 701 $aAyala$b Francisco J$g(Francisco Jose?),$f1934-2023.$01380539 701 $aSciences$b National Academy of$01108149 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963511703321 996 $aIn the Light of Evolution IV$94367108 997 $aUNINA
