Genesis: The Deep Origin of Societies Audiobook (Free)

Asserting that religious creeds and philosophical questions can be decreased to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that the body and brain have got a physical base obedient to the laws and regulations of physics and chemistry, Genesis demonstrates that the only path for all of us to totally understand human behavior is to review the evolutionary histories of non-human species. Of these, Wilson shows that at least seventeen?among them the African naked mole rat as well as the sponge- dwelling shrimp?have been found to possess advanced societies predicated on altruism and cooperation. Whether authoring midges who ‘dance about like acrobats’ or institutions of anchovies who protectively huddle ‘to appear like a gigantic seafood,’ or proposing that human culture owes a personal debt of gratitude to ‘postmenopausal grandmothers’ and ‘childless homosexuals,’ Genesis is usually a pithy yet path-breaking function of evolutionary theory, braiding twenty-first-century medical theory with the lyrical natural and humanistic observations for which Wilson is well known.
