2017., General, Doubleday Call No: 591.56 P971e Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "What can explain the incredible diversity of beauty in nature? Ornithologist Richard O. Prum discusses Charles Darwin's second and long-neglected theory - aesthetic mate choice - and what it means for our understanding of evolution. Prum connects those same evolutionary dynamics to the origins and diversity of human sexuality, offering new thinking about the evolution of human beauty and the role of mate choice, thereby transforming our ancestors from typical infanticidal primates into socially intelligent, pair-bonding caregivers. An exhilarating tour de force that begins in the trees and ends by fundamentally challenging how we understand human evolution and ourselves. Richard O. Prum is a professor of ornithology at Yale University."--Provided by publisher.

[2007], Grove Press Call No: 599.222 F585c Edition: 1st American ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Conservationist Flannery draws on three decades of travel, research, and field work to craft a love letter to his native land and one of its most unique and beloved inhabitants: the kangaroo. Crisscrossing the continent, Flannery shows us how the destiny of this extraordinary creature is inseparable from the environment that created it. Along the way he uses encounters with ancient aboriginal cultures and eccentric fossil hunters, farmers and scientists, kangaroo advocates and kangaroo hunters, to explore how Australia's deserts and rainforests have shaped human responses to the continent--and how kangaroos have evolved to handle the resulting challenges. A synthesis of memoir, travel, natural history, and evolutionary science.--From publisher description.

Summary Note: Science tells us we're all related--one vast family sharing a common ancestor who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago. But countless questions remain about our great journey from the birthplace of Homo sapiens. How and when did we end up where we are? Why do we display such a wide range of colors and features? The fossil record offers some answers, but new research reveals many more, since our DNA carries a chronicle of our species and its migrations. This book translates complicated concepts into accessible language and explains how each individual's DNA contributes another piece to the puzzle. It takes readers inside the Genographic Project, the landmark study now assembling the world's largest collection of DNA samples and employing the latest in testing technology and computer analysis to examine hundreds of thousands of genetic profiles from all over the globe, showing how universal our human heritage really is.--From publisher description.
