Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications
Grant Ramsey-Hugh Desmond
What does it mean for our species-or for any species-to be successful? Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications examines the concept of human success from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with contributions from leading paleobiologists, anthropologists, geologists, philosophers of science, and ethicists. It tells the tale of how the human species grew in success-linked metrics, such as population size and geographical range, andhow it came to dominate ecological systems across the globe. It explores how culture, technology, and creativity have contributed to human success.
However, there is a darker side of human success, as has become apparent in a world affected by climate change and the destruction of biodiversity. This leads usto ask whether the human species can really be called successful, and what our future success will look like in terms of our bodies, minds, morals, and our place in the universe. The essays in this book probe us to reflect on what has led to our apparent evolutionary successâ€â€and, most importantly, what this success implies for the future of our species.
