"Evolutionary science is critical for an understanding of integrated human biology and is increasingly recognized as a core discipline by medical and public health professionals. Advances in the fields of genomics, epigenetics, developmental biology, and epidemiology have led to the growing realization that incorporation of evolutionary thinking is essential for medicine to achieve its full potential. This revised and updated second edition of the first comprehensive textbook of evolutionary medicine explains the principles of evolutionary biology from a medical perspective and focuses on how medicine and public health might utilize evolutionary thinking. The first part of the book provides a summary of the evolutionary theory relevant to understanding human health and disease, using examples specifically relevant to medicine. The second part describes the application of evolutionary principles to understanding particular aspects of human medicine: reproduction, metabolism, behavior, the implications of our coevolution with micro-organisms, and cancer. The two parts are bridged by a chapter that details pathways by which evolutionary processes affect disease risk and symptoms, and how hypotheses in evolutionary medicine can be tested. A further chapter illustrates the application of evolutionary biology to medicine and public health, with a number of new clinical examples. The final chapter uses a historical perspective to consider the ethical and societal issues arising from the interface between evolution and medicine."

"Cognitive Models in Palaeolithic Archaeology champions the use of formal cognitive models in the analysis of prehistoric remains from the deep past. The authors of individual chapters include many of the leading authorities in the nascent field of cognitive archaeology. After a historically organized introduction to evolutionary cognitive archaeology by Thomas Wynn, the chapters present and apply several different cognitive models to Palaeolithic remains, including expert cognition (T. Wynn, M. Lombard, M. Haidle, F. L. Coolidge), information processing (P. Barnard, I. Davidson, R. Byrne), material engagement theory (L. Malafouris), embodied/extended cognition (L. Overmann), neuroaesthetics (M. Martin-Loeches), visual resonance theory (D. Hodgson), theory of mind (J. Cole), and neuronal recycling (T. Wynn, L. Overmann, F. L. Coolidge, K. Janulis). The authors address archaeological remains from the entire range of the Palaeolithic, from the earliest stone tools 3.3 million years ago to artistic developments that emerged after 50,000 years ago. The volume demonstrates clearly the kinds of insights that can be gained by applying formal cognitive models to Palaeolithic evidence."

"Penelitian ini menjelajahi potensi integrasi arsitektur dengan teknologi modifikasi genetika untuk menciptakan Homo Deus, sebuah spesies manusia yang ditingkatkan secara genetis, melalui pendekatan arsitektur berbasis proses dengan metode "kits and parts". Arsitektur Homo Deus menunjukkan bagaimana prinsip-prinsip biomolekuler dapat diterapkan dalam perancangan ruang spasial untuk mencapai sistem operasi arsitektur yang efektif. Studi ini menyoroti pentingnya substansi dan siklus dalam membentuk arsitektur yang fungsional dan responsif terhadap perubahan genetik. Penelitian ini mencakup pemahaman mendalam tentang berbagai proses yang terjadi pada sel, struktur genetik, dan material yang membentuk tubuh manusia. Pada akhir penelitian, ditemukan bahwa dengan memanfaatkan teknologi adaptif pada zamannya, seperti CRISPR dalam studi ini, arsitektur masa depan dapat menciptakan ruang yang adaptif dan responsif terhadap perkembangan dan perubahan evolusi.

This study explores the potential integration of architecture with genetic modification technology to create Homo Deus, a genetically enhanced human species, through a process-based architectural approach using "kits and parts" methodology. Homo Deus architecture demonstrates how principles of biomolecules can be applied in spatial design to achieve an effective architectural operating system. The study highlights the importance of substance and cycles in shaping functional architecture that is responsive to genetic changes. It encompasses a deep understanding of various processes occurring within cells, genetic structures, and materials shaping the human body. Ultimately, the research finds that leveraging adaptive technologies of its time, such as CRISPR in this study, future architecture can create spaces that are adaptive and responsive to the development and evolutionary changes."

""While most of us live our lives according to the working week, we did not evolve to be bound by industrial schedules, nor did the food we eat. Despite this, we eat the products of industrialization and often suffer as a consequence. This book considers aspects of changing human nutrition from evolutionary and social perspectives. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be, how it has been shaped across evolutionary time and how we have adapted to changing food availability. The transition from hunter-gatherer and the rise of agriculture through to the industrialisation and globalisation of diet are explored. Far from being adapted to a 'Stone Age' diet, humans can consume a vast range of foodstuffs. However, being able to eat anything does not mean that we should eat everything, and therefore engagement with the evolutionary underpinnings of diet and factors influencing it are key to better public health practice"-- "

"The book is widely considered a seminal work in the subject of evolutionary cognition. However, Deacons book was the first step, further steps have had to be taken. The proposed anthology is such an important associate.The contributions are written by a wide variety of scholars each with a unique view on evolutionary cognition and the questions raised by Terrence Deacon, emergence in evolution, the origin of language, the semiotic 'missing link', Peirce's semiotics in evolution and biology, biosemiotics, evolutionary cognition, Baldwinian evolution, the neuroscience of linguistic capacities as well as phylogeny of the homo species, primatology, embodied cognition and knowledge types."
