Evolution History

Un martillo que ningún mortal puede levantar. Un flamante dios de la tormenta, con cabello cual llamas. Un héroe-dios-alienígena que defiende a la humanidad. La esvástica. Incluso el nombre Thursday [jueves en inglés] es “Thor’s Day” [el día de Thor]. A pesar de la virtual desaparición de la religión autóctona y mitología nórdica siglos atrás, aún se encuentra con regularidad en la sociedad moderna al dios de la tormenta, Thor, quien continúa siendo traído de vuelta a la vida en forma de literatura y más recientemente, como protagonista de películas taquilleras de Hollywood.

This work is an examination of Darwin's theory of evolution, in particular his belief in competition as the driving force behind human development.

An authoritative but readable examination of the digital sector in both the UK and US, Towards a Digital Renaissance traces the excitement and optimism of the early internet, the outsider cyberpunk ethic and open access. But it also monitors the more complex but ultimately more commercialised online world of today, a world dominated by corporate business in which many feel that surveillance has become overwhelming.

La Navidad es la fiesta más importante del calendario internacional. Después de los respectivos días que exaltan el orgullo nacional de los países —el Día de la Independencia en Estados Unidos, el Día de la Victoria en Rusia, el Día de la Bastilla en Francia— sin duda es el 25 de diciembre el que articula la vida familiar, el trabajo y la economía de prácticamente todo el orbe… incluyendo muchos países no cristianos.

It was the most radical human-breeding experiment in American history, and no one knew how it turned out. The Repository for Germinal Choice, nicknamed the Nobel Prize sperm bank, opened to notorious fanfare in 1980, and for two decades, women flocked to it from all over the country to choose a sperm donor from its roster of Nobel-laureate scientists, mathematical prodigies, successful businessmen, and star athletes.

The second book in the Easy Money trilogy discusses how the global financial system evolved in the aftermath of the First World War and how that finally led to the dot-com crash in the United States, in the early 2000s. It gives an overview of how in the aftermath of the First World War, Europe was in major trouble. The book also analyzes how the United Kingdom of Great Britain, which was once the premier nation of the world, lost out to its former colony, the United States of America.

The bigger picture of the ongoing financial crisis has now started to evolve. Easy Money captures this big picture. The history of money and the financial system as it has evolved over the centuries stand at the heart of this endeavor. It explores the idea that the evolution of money over centuries has led to an easy money policy being followed by governments and central banks across the world, which in turn has fueled humongous Ponzi schemes, which have now started to unravel, bringing the whole world on the brink of a financial disaster.

Anzeer’s point had been buried for thirty-seven-thousand years. Before, it had been at critical moments in human history. When Harry 925 found it and felt its power he was certain it was the weapon Angelica had told him to expect. He hid it in his clothes. As the Others’ ships swung around for a third pass, they came straight at Harry 925. He knew it was his time to act. “Maybe I've just been born to do this one thing.” He stood with the point raised above his head. He felt powerful. The sun’s rays caught the point and reflected back at the closest ship. The rays entered its ...

Roland Ennos’ The Wood Age is a love-letter to the world’s most vital and yet most threatened material. It is the story of how wood has shaped our human experience from the earliest foragers to the modern four-poster bed. In a journey to appreciate how much it matters, Ennos takes the listener through four phases: the impact of wooded habits on the lives of primates, human emergence and the discoveries of fire and woodwork, wood’s role in an environment both pre- and post-industrialisation, and lastly, the possible future of wood in an increasingly technologised world.

In Psychedelic Apes, best-selling author Alex Boese will delve into the curious scientific subculture of weird theories. Thoroughly bizarre and contrary to the established norm, these ideas are often vehemently rejected by the intellectual community. From the creation of the universe to the evolution of humans, the birth of civilisation right through to our more recent past, Psychedelic Apes explores some of the craziest ideas from science and history and shows that, sometimes, even the weirdest theories may be proved true.

Sixty-six million years ago the dinosaurs were wiped from the face of the earth. Today a new generation of dinosaur hunters, armed with cutting-edge technology, is piecing together the complete story of how the dinosaurs created a hugely successful empire that lasted for around 150 million years.

Christmas, 1859. Just one month after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin received an unsettling letter. He had expected criticism; in fact, letters were arriving daily, most expressing outrage and accusations of heresy. But this letter was different. It accused him of failing to acknowledge his predecessors, of taking credit for a theory that had already been discovered by others. Darwin realized that he had made an error in omitting from Origin of Species any mention of his intellectual forebears.

The next fertile undiscovered frontier of science is the study of how the individual (you) naturally inhabit this universe. This topic speaks to the really interesting question of how any living individual came to be where you are in the form that you are.

Few sporting records capture the imagination quite like that of the highest individual score in Test cricket. It is the blue riband record of batting achievement, the ultimate statement of stamina and skill. From Charles Bannerman, who scored 165 for Australia against England in the inaugural Test match in 1877, to Brian Lara, who made 400 not out for West Indies against England in 2004, the record has changed hands 10 times.

Ist das Leben durch Evolution entstanden oder hat Gott die Welt erschaffen? Kreationisten und z. B. die "Neuen Atheisten" um Richard Dawkins sind sich wenigstens darin einig, dass beides gleichzeitig nicht geht. Und viele Menschen, die sich vom christlichen Glauben angezogen fühlen, fragen sich daher: "Wie soll ich der Bibel glauben, wenn das bedeutet, dass ich die Wissenschaft ablehnen muss?" Aber ist das wirklich so? Muss man sich wirklich zwischen Wissenschaft und Religion entscheiden? Timothy Keller möchte sowohl glaubenden wie auch auch suchenden Menschen helfen, Wissenschaft und Glauben in Einklang zu bringen.

The Bible tells us that God created us in the Garden of Eden. Scientific evidence points to us evolving from lower animals. Eden Evolution analyzes the dichotomies between the two and suggests how both can be correct.

The concept of a future day when the whole of humanity will stand before God in order to be judged for their actions upon Earth is pervasive in Western literature, mostly owing to its roots in the Judeo-Christian worldview, but such a religious concept is not limited to the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. In fact, it seems to be much more deeply seated in the human psyche because it appears in many disparate religious traditions.
