If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell). What have these organisms—bacteria, animals, plants, and the rest—done in all this time? In Living on Earth, the philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a new way of understanding how the actions of living beings have shaped our planet.

Story
Humans, it turns out, are intrinsically wired to seek short-term success at the expense of long-term prosperity. Kristian Rönn, an entrepreneur formerly affiliated with the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, calls these deeply rooted impulses “Darwinian demons.” These forces, a by-product of natural selection, can lead us to act in shortsighted ways that harm others—and even imperil our survival as a species. If this evolutionary glitch is left unchecked, the consequences will grow in magnitude as the power of technology accelerates.

Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves.

Charles Darwin escribió El Origen del Hombre en 1871, donde aplicó sus ideas evolutivas a la comprensión de la historia humana. En este libro, Darwin aplicó los principios de su teoría evolutiva, como la selección natural y la descendencia con modificaciones, a la comprensión de la historia evolutiva de la especie humana. Darwin argumentó que los humanos compartían un ancestro común con otros primates, basándose en evidencias anatómicas, fósiles y comportamentales.

In an era where robots are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, we still struggle to define exactly what constitutes a robot.Do robots deserve to be defined by biological markers? How can we differentiate between a mechanical android versus one with synthetic skin? Are robots simply advanced machines that serve as tools for humanity? Will they eventually join the fabric of human society as our agents, advisors, assistants, maids, nurses, and partners? Will they be our servants, equals or superiors? Will we merge with them to become human-robot hybrids?

Un libro que invita a reflexionar sobre el cerebro y la esencia de nuestra humanidad.

Con una sugerente narración, el autor utiliza numerosas obras y pensamientos de artistas y escritores como metáforas para saltar del mundo del arte al de la ciencia y viceversa, y para que al mismo tiempo sirvan de inspiración al lector para meditar sobre la naturaleza del cerebro, la esencia de nuestra humanidad.
