Living in a Dangerous Climate provides a journey through human and
Earth history, showing how a changing climate has affected human
evolution and society. Is it possible for humanity to evolve
quickly, or is slow, gradual, genetic evolution the only way we
change? Why did all other Homo species go extinct while Homo
sapiens became dominant? How did agriculture, domestication and the
use of fossil fuels affect humanity's growing dominance? Do today's
dominant societies - devoted as they are to Darwinism and 'survival
of the fittest' - contribute to our current failure to meet the
hazards of a dangerous climate? Unique and thought provoking, the
book links scientific knowledge and perspectives of evolution,
climate change and economics in a way that is accessible and
exciting for the general reader. The book is also valuable for
courses on climate change, human evolution and environmental
science.
