Despite the many well-documented similarities -- genetic,
cognitive, behavioral, social -- between our human selves and our
evolutionary forebears, a significant gulf remains between us and
them. Why is that? How did it come about? And how did we come to be
the way we are? This book brings together a diverse group of
internationally recognised scholars -- including humanist, atheist,
and theist voices -- to explore how and when human personhood
emerged. Representing various disciplines, the contributors all
offer significant insights into new scientific research about how
humans emerged -- research that challenges some traditional views
of human nature. In a concluding chapter Malcolm Jeeves stands back
and points out key features of the complex picture of human nature
that has emerged through this volume. He further identifies points
of both harmony and discord and notes questions yet to be tackled.
Contributions by Francisco J. Ayala, Justin L. Barrett, Roy F.
Baumeister, Warren S. Brown, Richard W. Byrne, Matthew J. Jarvinen,
Malcolm Jeeves, Timothy O'Connor, Lynn K. Paul, Colin Renfrew, Ian
