The Hypothetical SpeciesVariables of Human Evolution /[electronic resource] :by Michael Charles Tobias, Jane Gray Morrison. - 1st ed. 2019. - X, 318 p. 225 illus., 205 illus. in color.online resource.

Introdution -- Between the Theoretical and the Hypothetical -- Taxonomic Uncertainties -- A Biosphere in Flux -- As Far as the Microscope Reveals -- Human Contradictions -- Varieties of Social Contracts -- Biological Consensus Mechanisms: The Future of Co-Existence.

This book is a provocative and invigorating real-time exploration of the future of human evolution by two of the world’s leading interdisciplinary ecologists – Michael Charles Tobias and Jane Gray Morrison. Steeped in a rich multitude of the sciences and humanities, the book enshrines an elegant narrative that is highly empathetic, personal, scientifically wide-ranging and original. It focuses on the geo-positioning of the human Self and its corresponding species. The book's overarching viewpoints and poignant through-story examine and powerfully challenge concepts associated historically with assertions of human superiority over all other life forms. Ultimately, The Hypothetical Species: Variables of Human Evolution is a deeply considered treatise on the ecological and psychological state of humanity and her options – both within, and outside the rubrics of evolutionary research – for survival. This important work is beautifully presented with nearly 200 diverse illustrations, and is introduced with a foreword by famed paleobiologist, Dr. Melanie DeVore.
