Heinsohn R.: Evolution of Obligate
Cooperative Breeding

Evolution of Obligate Cooperative Breeding

The first annotated edition of the book that shocked the Victorian world and continues to generate controversy todayWhen Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man was published in 1871, the book was an immediate sensation. It presents Darwin's account of how we evolved from primates and expounds his theory of sexual selection, which he believed accounted for human origins and diversity. James Costa and Elizabeth Yale bring Darwin's Descent to new life in this authoritative annotated edition, shedding light on the cultural context in which the legendary naturalist developed his ideas and exploring how subsequent generations of scientists, scholars, and social reformers adapted them. Informative and in-depth commentaries accompany the text of The Descent of Man, enabling readers to engage with Darwin's ideas and contextualize them in light of our current understanding of human evolution and sexual selection. Costa and Yale show how Darwin's antislavery commitments and his beliefs in European superiority shaped his account of the evolution of human difference, and examine how Victorian beliefs about gender informed the development of his theory of sexual selection. They explain where Darwin's arguments about the origins of human differences line up with modern science-and where they don't. Spanning the boundaries of history and science, this fully annotated edition illuminates the rich cultural and scientific contexts underpinning Darwin's ideas and introduces his landmark book to a new generation of readers.

An Annotated Edition of Darwin’s Classic Work

The Descent of Man

This volume examines the rise and decline of racial science and its relationship to the political and social imposition of Jim Crow in the American South, a racialized code of laws grounded upon an inherently racist and prejudicial pseudoscience.

This volume examines the rise and decline of racial science and its relationship to the political and social imposition of Jim Crow in the American South, a racialized code of laws grounded upon an inherently racist and prejudicial pseudoscience. The author argues, here, that the study of human beings within the emerging 18th and 19th century institutions of Western science were corrupted by the limited social intuitions of its enslaving, colonizing, and elitist members. Western science and White societies plowed forward in continued ideological adherence to a biodeterministic imagination: to justify slavery, then Jim Crow racial segregation, immigration restriction and other deadly and exploitative ‘eugenical’ solutions of Social Darwinist thought. The story is further complexified by the countervailing theories and voices of Black and Jewish intellectuals in the social and biocultural sciences in the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Montague Cobb. These had profound consequences not only for the social sciences, but the cultural life of Black Americans in the aftermath (and afterlife) of slavery. At the same time, even here, the author discloses that the racialized dimensions of social science could not be fully exorcised, as social science continued to construct 'soft-line racism’ in that it selectively primitivized darker people and omitted White racism and colonialism from their human story. African American social scientists and historians brought White racism and Black modernity to the fore. Eugenics had begun to paint marginal White people (Jewish and Italian immigrants to the U.S.) as natural inferiors to ‘Nordics’ or ‘Aryans’ with devastating consequences in World War II Europe. As the War ended, the world community began its turn against racism in science and society. In constructing this historical and sociological counternarrative, the author provides a critical new social history that illuminates a tangled and turgid past for contemporary readers, students, and researchers with vital insights for anthropology, sociology, history, cultural studies, philosophy, and American studies.

Racial Segregation and Eugenical Science Between the Wars

Der gnadenlose Überlebenskampf der freien Wildbahn stellte schon so manche Spezies vor verzwickte Probleme - sei es bei der Fortpflanzung, der Kinderaufzucht, bei Fressen und Gefressenwerden sowie der Suche nach Unterschlupf und Schutz. Doch die Evolution kennt immer eine Lösung, und sei sie auch noch so verrückt. So werden Ameisen zu Zombies, Beutelmäuse zu Testosteronmonstern, Wespen zu Sklavenhaltern und Anglerfisch-Männchen haben genau einen Daseinsgrund. Mit bissigem Humor stellt Matt Simon die skurrilsten Überlebensstrategien des Tierreichs vor. <ul><li>Mutter Natur ist verrückt geworden.</li><li>Frösche mit Bärten, Beutelmäuse, die sich zu Tode lieben, Krabben mit Hofstaat.</li><li>Matt Simon stellt äußerst unterhaltsam unglaubliche Überlebensstrategien der Tierwelt vor. Ob Fortpflanzung, Nahrungsbeschaffung, Schutz vor Feinden - für jedes verrückte Problem gibt es eine noch verrücktere Lösung</li><li>'Ein kurzweiliges und urkomisches Lesevergnügen, voll von bissigem Humor. Mit faszinierenden Fakten, die sowohl beeindrucken als auch gruseln.' Science News</li><li>'Ein amüsanter Blick auf den andauernden Rüstungswettlauf der Natur.'

This book explains, in accessible, everyday language, how to apply the Five Domains of Animal Welfare throughout the horse world, whatever type of equine is concerned or whatever role he or she fulfils.

The Five Domains of Animal Welfare, when applied to horses, can act as a safe, reliable source of advice and information for conscientious owners, and also a benchmark by which the practices of the more experienced can be measured, scrutinised and held to account. They provide standards to be met, rather than levels to be tolerated.This book explains, in accessible, everyday language, how to apply the Five Domains throughout the horse world, whatever type of equine is concerned or whatever role he or she fulfils, from pet to Thoroughbred racehorse, from informal friend and hack to Olympic competitor. The Domains have been expertly devised, carefully constructed and logically categorised so that anyone can find trustworthy advice on just about any problem or issue they are likely to meet in their lives with horses.Looking after a horse properly is an excellent way of preventing problems in the first place and this book provides reliable information on knowing how to assess a horse on a daily and weekly basis, so that owners will realise at a glance that something is not quite right or seriously wrong. These skills are accessible and are crucial to responsible, correct horse care and management.

Pathology of Wildlife and Zoo Animals, Second Edition is the much-anticipated update to the leading resource on the study of diseases in non-domestic species. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the pathology of wildlife and zoo species, including a wide scope of animals, disease types and geographic regions. Chapters include information on performing necropsies, proper techniques to meet the specialized needs of forensic cases, laboratory diagnostics, and an introduction to basic principles of comparative clinical pathology. The taxon-based chapters provide information about diseases in related groups of animals and include descriptions of gross and histologic lesions, pathogenesis and diagnostics. For each group of animals, notable, unique, gross and microscopic anatomical features are provided to further assist the reader in deciding whether differences from the domestic animal paradigm are "normal." Additional online content, which includes text, images and whole scanned glass slides of selected conditions expand the published material thus resulting in a comprehensive approach to the topic.

A goal of macroevolutionary theory is to explain both diversity and disparity - different sometimes uncorrelated characteristics of lineages. These actively researched questions, the growing number of case studies, and the increasingly rigorous theory, has resulted in the re-examination of classical models for evolutionary tempo and mode. Time-calibrated molecular phylogenies are now used in conjunction with quantitative analyses of morphology to evaluate models of evolution. For example, mathematically simple efforts to understand biologically complex traits (such as body size) are common. The major objective of the proposed work is to present novel methods and case-studies of the tempo and mode of evolution of complex morphologies. Recent innovations in methods for describing and modeling complex morphologies, which have the potential to advance the field still further, will be the primary focus of this intended volume.
