Human Success: Evolutionary Origins and Ethical Implications delves into the multifaceted aspects of human success, drawing upon insights from renowned paleobiologists, anthropologists, geologists, philosophers of science, and ethicists. It explores the evolution of the human species in terms of success-linked metrics, such as population size and geographical range, and investigates how it has come to dominate ecological systems across the globe. The book also examines the ethical implications of this dominance, including the consequences of human-driven climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book encourages readers to contemplate the factors that have contributed to our apparent evolutionary success and what these achievements mean for the future of our species.
