Synopsis
What does it mean for our species--or for any species--to be successful? Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications examines the concept of human success from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with contributions from leading paleobiologists, anthropologists, geologists, philosophers of science, and ethicists. It tells the tale of how the human species grew in success-linked metrics, such as population size and geographical range, and how it came to dominate ecological systems across the globe. It explores how culture, technology, and creativity have contributed to human success. However, there is a darker side of human success, as has become apparent in a world affected by climate change and the destruction of biodiversity. This leads us to ask whether the human species can really be called successful, and what our future success will look like in terms of our bodies, minds, morals, and our place in the universe. The essays in this book probe us to reflect on what has led to our apparent evolutionary success--and, most importantly, what this success implies for the future of our species., Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications examines the concept of human success from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Its starting point is the observation that no mammal comes close to Homo sapiens' population size, geographical range, and domination of ecological systems. How did we arrive at this point? What does it mean moving forward? This volume explores the causes of our evolutionary success, how we can grapple with excessive success in a world impacted by climate change, and what our success means for the future of our species., Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications examines human success from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with contributions from leading paleobiologists, anthropologists, geologists, philosophers of science, and ethicists. It considers how the human species grew in success-linked metrics, such as population size and geographical range, and how it came to dominate ecological systems across the globe. It probes whether the consequences of that dominance, such as human-driven climate change and the destruction of biodiversity, mandate a rethinking of the meaning of human success. The essays in this book urge us to reflect on what has led to our apparent evolutionary success--and, most importantly, what this success implies for the future of our species.
