Noticing society's creeping descent into infantilisation is one thing, however understanding the roots and causes of the phenomenon is not quite so easy. But in this topical and vitally important new work, cultural theorist and academic, Dr Keith Hayward, exposes the deep social, psychological and political dangers of a world characterised by denuded adult autonomy.

If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell). What have these organisms—bacteria, animals, plants, and the rest—done in all this time? In Living on Earth, the philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a new way of understanding how the actions of living beings have shaped our planet.

This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton gives a sweeping account of male nurturing, explaining how and why men are biologically transformed when they care for babies.

Dieses Hörbuch stellt einen übersichtlichen chronologischen Querschnitt der uns heute bekannten Entstehung und Entwicklung der menschlichen Kultur dar. Vom 5ten Jahrtausend vor Christus bis zum Jahre 2024 bewegen wir uns innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von etwa 7000 Jahren. Was manchen wie ein unglaublich langer Zeitraum erscheinen mag, ist für uns durch dieses Hörbuch ein gemütliches Dahingleiten durch die relative Ewigkeit des menschlichen Geistes. Da Künste, Religionen, Gesellschaftsformen etc. Produkte der menschlichen Kultur sind, erfahren wir gewissermaßen "fast Alles über fast Alles" ohne fast Nichts zu vergessen.

From a European-Western perspective, much of what is related to the state of Japan, including its history and culture and the people who live there, seems not only foreign, but also in some ways inaccessible and incomprehensible. Those who do not deal with it explicitly often have no connection to Japan at all. This, of course, is also true of Japanese mythology. In contrast to Greco-Roman or Nordic-Germanic mythology, the level of knowledge about it in the West is rather low.

Warum wollen wir wie besessen bestimmte Dinge haben, sind aber gelangweilt, wenn wir sie bekommen? Warum verwandelt sich die Leidenschaft von Verliebten so schnell in Desinteresse? Die Antwort liegt in einem Hormon in unserem Gehirn: Dopamin. Es ist die Quelle unseres Verlangens und lässt uns für einen kurzen Nervenkitzel alles riskieren. Dabei ist es die Aussicht auf etwas Neues, die uns antreibt, nicht die Erfüllung. Dopamin ist der Grund, warum wir forschen und entdecken, aber auch der Ursprung von Verschwendung, Risiko und Sucht.

Etwas stimmt mit dem Leben nicht. Jeder kennt das Gefühl. Depressionen und Angststörungen grassieren. Krisen, Kriege und Katastrophen dominieren die Nachrichten. Die längste Zeit redete die Kirche uns ein, es läge an der menschlichen Sündhaftigkeit. Heute hält uns eine ganze Ratgeberindustrie auf der Anklagebank und verordnet Selbstoptimierung, Achtsamkeit und Resilienztraining. Höchste Zeit für eine evolutionäre Aufklärung. Wir sind nicht schuld. Wir müssen uns nur endlich selbst verstehen.

In this illuminating tour of humanity, Joy Hendry and Simon Underdown reveal the origins of our species, and the fabric of human society, through the discipline of anthropology. Via fascinating case studies and discoveries, they unravel our understanding of human behaviours and beliefs, including how witchcraft has been used to justify misfortune, and debunk old-fashioned ideas about 'race' based upon the latest genetic research. They even share what our bathroom tells us about our concept of the body – and ourselves.

Most of us cross invisible lines all the time, but don't stop to consider them.
