商品描述

How humanity brought about the climate crisis by departing from its evolutionary trajectory 15,000 years ago--and how we can use evolutionary principles to save ourselves from the worst outcomes.

Despite efforts to sustain civilization, humanity faces existential threats from overpopulation, globalized trade and travel, urbanization, and global climate change. In A Darwinian Survival Guide, Daniel Brooks and Salvatore Agosta draw on their expertise as field biologists to offer a novel--and hopeful--perspective on how to meet these tremendous challenges by changing the discourse from sustainability to survival. Darwinian evolution, the world's only theory of survival, is the means by which the biosphere has persisted and renewed itself following past environmental perturbations, and it has never failed, they explain. Even in the aftermath of mass extinctions, enough survivors remain with the potential to produce a new diversified biosphere.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

人類如何在一萬五千年前偏離其進化軌跡而導致氣候危機——以及我們如何利用進化原則來拯救自己免於最糟糕的結果。

儘管努力維持文明，人類仍面臨來自過度人口、全球貿易與旅行、城市化以及全球氣候變遷的生存威脅。在A Darwinian Survival Guide中，Daniel Brooks和Salvatore Agosta利用他們作為野外生物學家的專業知識，提供了一種新穎且充滿希望的觀點，來應對這些巨大的挑戰，將討論重點從可持續性轉向生存。他們解釋道，達爾文進化論是世界上唯一的生存理論，這是生物圈在過去環境擾動後持續和自我更新的手段，並且從未失敗。即使在大規模滅絕的後果中，仍有足夠的生存者留下來，具備產生新多樣化生物圈的潛力。
