Resumen del Libro

Making knowledge about evolution available to everyone, this simple and entertaining book offers answers to the most frequently asked questions. Throughout the text, the reader is reminded of the importance of understanding evolutionary processes in order to approach present day human behavior, including social conduct, as well as the difficulty of trying to decipher the nature of modern human beings without going back to their zoological origin. Divided into two sections, the first one builds the foundation for the latter, which explains the evolution of life, beginning at the physical evolution of the universe and biological development. Este extraordinario libro aspira a popularizar el conocimiento sobre la evolución, a la vez que a ofrecer respuestas a los interrogantes más frecuentes que suscita. El texto pone énfasis en la importancia de entender los procesos evolutivos para aproximarnos a las conductas humanas actuales, incluidas las sociales.
