Children of Prometheus: The Accelerating Pace of Human Evolution (Penguin Science S.)

by Christopher Wills (Author)

Synopsis

Are we still evolving? Scientists have grappled with this question since the time of Darwin. Christopher Wills argues that we are not only continuing to evolve, but that our pace of change is accelerating. He explores mysterious ways - both visible and unseen, examining the rapid short-term evolutionary change taking place in people living at the earth's extremes and the new physiology of those who participate in extreme sports.
