The Goodness Paradox
'A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical forebears, and contemporary neighbors' Steven Pinker 'A brilliant analysis of the role of aggression in our evolutionary history' Jane Goodall It may not always seem so, but day-to-day interactions between individual humans are extraordinarily peaceful. That is not to say that we are perfect, just far less violent than most animals, especially our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and their legendarily docile cousins, the Bonobo. Perhaps surprisingly, we rape, maim, and kill many fewer of our neighbours than all other primates and almost all undomesticated animals...

Current Topics in Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2007, held in Salamanca, Spain, in November 2007, in conjunction with the 7th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Technology Transfer, TTIA 2007. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 134 submissions. The papers address all current issues of artificial intelligence ranging from methodological and foundational aspects to advanced applications in various fields.
Policies and Strategies in Sexual and Reproductive Health
The topics covered in the book cover different aspects of sexual and reproductive health. This book provides novel research results that may be essential as a basis for the development of health policies and strategies in sexual and reproductive health. These policies are necessary to achieve greater health protection. Among others, issues as important as the increase in STIs, their risk factors, vulnerable situations and populations, as well as the issue of priority in reproductive health, such as the care that must be provided during pregnancy and childbirth in order to guarantee healthy women and children, are developed in the book. There is no doubt that women should be the preferential ...
Die Zähmung des Menschen
»Eine neue, bestechende Analyse menschlicher Gewalt, voller neuer Ideen und packender Zeugnisse von unseren Vettern, den Primaten, unseren historischen Vorfahren und unseren gegenwärtigen Nachbarn.« Steven Pinker Die Erfindung der Todesstrafe hat uns zum Menschen gemacht – das ist die aufsehenerregende Theorie des Harvard-Anthropologen und Schimpansenforschers Richard Wrangham. Demnach zähmten sich unsere Vorfahren selbst, indem sie dafür sorgten, dass nur noch diejenigen Gruppenmitglieder sich fortpflanzen konnten, die sozial eingestellt waren. Aggressives Verhalten wurde mit dem Tod bestraft und dadurch aus dem Genpool entfernt. Anhand zahlreicher anthropologischer Studien und seinen eigenen Beobachtungen an Menschenaffen und indigenen Völkern zeigt Wrangham, wie wir im Laufe der Evolution durch die Anwendung tödlicher Gewalt zu den zivilisierten Wesen wurden, die wir heute sind. Er führt uns auch vor Augen, dass diese Entwicklung zugleich den Grundstein für unsere schlimmsten Gräueltaten gelegt hat.
Парадокс добродетели
Ричард Рэнгем, приматолог и антрополог, специалист в области эволюции приматов, профессор Гарвардского университета, подробно и доступно разбирает научную дискуссию по важнейшим вопросам: почему людям, представителям единого биологического вида, свойственны одновременно и удивительная доброта, и немыслимая жестокость; как эти качества, порой выходящие далеко за пределы здравого смысла, появились и закрепились в ходе эволюционной истории человечества; откуда у нас нравственные чувства, понятия о добре и зле; и главное – обречены ли мы своим эволюционным парадоксом на вечную угрозу насилия.В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.

Energy Balance and Obesity
Understanding the relationship between energy balance and obesity is essential to develop effective prevention programs and policies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer convened a Working Group of world-leading experts in December 2015 to review the evidence regarding energy balance and obesity, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries, and to consider the following scientific questions: (i) Are the drivers of the obesity epidemic related only to energy excess and/or do specific foods or nutrients play a major role in this epidemic? (ii) What are the factors that modulate these associations? (iii) Which types of data and/or studies will further improve our understanding? This book provides summaries of the evidence from the literature as well as the Working Group's conclusions and recommendations to tackle the global epidemic of obesity.
