Daughter. Duhitár-. Dustr. Dukte. Listen to these English, Sanskrit, Armenian and Lithuanian words, all meaning the same thing, and you hear echoes of one of history’s most unlikely journeys. All four languages—along with hundreds of others, from French and Gaelic, to Persian and Polish—trace their origins to an ancient tongue spoken as the last ice age receded. This language, which we call Proto-Indo-European, was born between Europe and Asia and exploded out of its cradle, fragmenting as it spread east and west.

"Intelligent Designer: Evolution for Politicians" is a book that brings badly needed help for a nation in desperate need of science literacy in high places. The litmus test for scientific literacy in public office is provided by the word "evolution," which rarely, if ever, fails to reveal an elected official's understanding of the way science operates, our evidence for what the Earth is really like, and even the meaning of the word "theory." If your elected official has a Kindle, this book will prevent him or her from appearing completely ignorant on issues ranging from science education to...

Reversing Human Aging was the first book in history to describe how aging works, how to reverse it, and the consequences of doing so. Originally published in 1996, it has largely passed the test of time. In the next two weeks, we will upload a new, electronic edition of this book and make it available for those interested in the work of Double Helix Corporation. The new edition, however, was taken directly from my original manuscript as submitted for publication, rather than from the publisher’s final version as actually printed. To the contrary, it retains the uncorrected style of my ...

Inevitably, life on Earth will come to an end, whether by climate disaster, cataclysmic war, or the death of the sun in a few billion years. To avoid extinction, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to inhabit. In this provocative and fascinating book, Christopher Mason argues that we have a moral duty to do just that.

We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, but for millions of us, not all of that time is spent sleeping. We strive for eight hours per night, only to lie awake thanks to stress, our ever-present devices, a new baby, or that 4pm coffee you thought you needed. As sleep scientist and recovering insomniac Merijn van de Laar shows, we’re hardly the first to experience this. When homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago, when saber-toothed tigers were their biggest nighttime worry, wakefulness served to protect one’s tribe at night.

We humans have an extraordinary capacity for compassion—much of it in response to the atrocities we inflict on the planet, its animals, and each other. The popular explanation for this paradox is that we evolved as carnivorous “killer apes,” who gradually curbed our lust for violence (with frequent exceptions) by implementing humane social norms. This explanation is so well worn, especially in the American psyche, that it epitomizes cliché. So, we could be forgiven for believing it, when nearly every word is fiction.

In Nature's Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could change us. The ways animals adjust to the urban landscape can help us design sustainable cities. Examining other intelligences can help us remake our economies. Learning from bacterial evolution may help solve our waste problem. Synthetic biology could rescue animals from the brink of extinction. Thinking in timescales of the natural world could help us choose a better future.

Researchers of human behavior have identified an "orgasm gap": Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are "psychologically broken"—Freud's theory—or badly designed—the "by-product theory." However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors.

"A Thesis on New Empirical Evidence for Intelligent Design: AI and Its Potential to Evolve – A Resource that Evolution and Intelligent Design Could Both Be Theories Simultaneously" In this groundbreaking thesis, the author explores a provocative new analogy that challenges traditional thinking about Intelligent Design and Evolution Theory. By examining the emerging capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this work proposes that the processes of intelligent design and evolution can coexist in a single system. AI, created by human designers but capable of evolving over time, presents ...

- Recomendado por Carlos López-Otín como obra de referencia en nutrición saludable. - Incluido en la bibliografía de su último libro (La levedad de las libélulas) como uno de los que le han proporcionado ideas o datos fundamentales. *** A más de la mitad de la población mayor de 15 años le han diagnosticado al menos una enfermedad crónica: diabetes, cáncer, enfermedad cardiovascular, articular, respiratoria, autoinmune, de la tiroides…, demencia, migraña, depresión… Eso nos lleva a pensar que padecer alguna de esas enfermedades es algo normal e inevitable, pero lo cierto es...
