technique use, articulated language, high cognitive capacities,
complex society at three levels: body, mind, social. In this book,

such humanity could have emerged in the long time (more than 6
million years). The process is based on a very early necessity to
use technic for surviving correlated with neoteny which impulsed a
darwinian evolutionary process, with four distinguished punctuation

Interpreting Biomedical Science: Experiment, Evidence, and Belief
discusses what can go wrong in biological science, providing an
unbiased view and cohesive understanding of scientific methods,
statistics, data interpretation, and scientific ethics that are
illustrated with practical examples and real-life applications.
Casting a wide net, the reader is exposed to scientific problems
and solutions through informed perspectives from history,
philosophy, sociology, and the social psychology of science. The
book shows the differences and similarities between disciplines and
different eras and illustrates the concept that while sound
methodology is necessary for the progress of science, we cannot
succeed without a right culture of doing things.
