Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications examines the concept of human success from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Its starting point is the observation that no mammal comes close to Homo sapiens' population size, geographical range, and domination of ecological systems. How did we arrive at this point? What does it mean moving forward? This volume explores the causes of our evolutionary success, how we can grapple with excessive success in a world impacted by climate change, and what our success means for the future of our species.
