Traditional views of human nature focus on the supernatural,
defining us as creatures with souls, minds, and spirits that
transcend our physical attributes. In this provocative book,
distinguished scientist and historian Elof Axel Carlson argues for
a different understanding of ourselves based on our biology -
cellular organization, genetics, life cycle, evolution, and our
origins as a species. This interpretation would not negate our
capacity for imagination, spiritual and emotional yearnings, or
aesthetic appreciation for art, music, and literature. Carlson
challenges educators, the media, and public policy makers to
integrate the evidence from science more fully into our
understanding of ourselves.
