Description

Overpopulation, depletion of natural resources, hunting of nonhuman species to extinction: palaentologist Niles Eldredge questions the long term survival of humans, given our propensity for living beyond our ecological means. In this text, he reviews the relation between biological and cultural evolution, showing how the agricultural revolution freed humans from dependence on local ecosystems and allowed us to assert our dominion, as the Christian Bible has it, over the beasts of the field.

Author Biography:

Niles Eldredge is a curator in the Department of Invertebrates at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Among his books is Reinventing Darwin: The Great Debate at the High Table of Evolutionary Theory (1995).
