    New Insights from KSD-VP-1/1

    Edición de Yohannes Haile-Selassie, Denise F. Su ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This volume describes a 3.6 million-years-old partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis from the Woranso-Mille, central Afar, Ethiopia. This specimen is the first adult partial skeleton to be recovered since Lucy’s (A.L. 288-1) discovery in 1974. It is older than Lucy by 400,000 years and sheds light on the paleobiology of early Australopithecus afarensis, particularly the morphology of the ... Leer más

  • Modelling Nature

    An introduction to mathematical modelling of natural systems

    de Edward Gillman, Michael Gillman ...
    This short textbook introduces students to the concept of describing natural systems using mathematical models. We highlight the variety of ways in which natural systems lend themselves to mathematical description and the importance of models in revealing fundamental processes. The process of science via the building, testing and use of models (theories) is described and forms the structure of the ... Leer más

  • The Botanic Age

    Planting the Seeds of Human Evolution

    de Dean Falk ...
    How and why did humans get to be so clever and thoughtful? The beginning of the Stone Age, marked by the invention of stone tools, has traditionally dominated discussions about the origin and evolution of human intelligence. However, feminist anthropologists have long theorized that the first tools were actually nests, slings, and baskets that would not have survived in the archaeological record ... Leer más

  • Not a Chimp

    The hunt to find the genes that make us human

    de Jeremy Taylor ...
    Humans are primates, and our closest relatives are the other African apes - chimpanzees closest of all. With the mapping of the human genome, and that of the chimp, a direct comparison of the differences between the two, letter by letter along the billions of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts of the DNA code, has led to the widely vaunted claim that we differ from chimps by a mere 1.6% of our genetic code. A ... Leer más
