Abstract

The evolutionary history of humans, known by the scientific name Homo sapiens (wise man), is the last living representative of a long fossil lineage of human-like populations. This book explores the wisdom of the current human populations, whose eight billion plus population growth and spread dominates present-day earth, and the possibility that these sheer numbers if left unchecked  without the right choices, may sooner or later, destroy planet earth and perhaps go extinct. This book explores the questions  posing human survival. Therefore, if you care about the survival of the most recent human species, you must read this book and consider the options that confront the future of our existence. Many other life forms that make up living components of ecosystems have gone extinct, and/or have merged with other extant species, so will human evolution follow the same time course?

人类的进化史,被称为智人(智人),是类人种群漫长化石谱系的最后一个在世代表。这本书探讨了当前人类人口的智慧,他们80多亿人口的增长和扩散主宰着当今地球,以及如果不加以控制,没有正确的选择,这些庞大的数字迟早可能毁灭地球,甚至灭绝的可能性。这本书探讨了人类生存的问题。因此,如果你关心最新人类物种的生存,你必须阅读这本书,并考虑我们未来生存的选择。构成生态系统生命组成部分的许多其他生命形式已经灭绝,和/或与其他现存物种融合,那么人类的进化会遵循同样的时间进程吗?

期刊介绍: The Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, formerly called Sida, Contributions to Botany, publishes research in classical and modern systematic botany—including studies of anatomy, biogeography, chemotaxonomy, ecology, evolution, floristics, genetics, paleobotany, palynology, and phylogenetic systematics. Geographic coverage is global. Articles are published in either English or Spanish; an abstract is provided in both languages. All contributions are peer reviewed and frequently illustrated with maps, line drawings, and full color photographs.
