This is the road from climate change to primate change. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU, THINK AGAIN. PRIMATE CHANGE is a wide-ranging, polemical look at how and why the human body has changed since humankind first got up on two feetSpanning the entirety of human history - from primate to transhuman - Vybarr Cregan-Reid''s book investigates where we came from, who we are today and how modern technology will change us beyond recognition. In the last two hundred years, humans have made such a tremendous impact on the world that our geological epoch is about to be declared the ''Anthropocene'', or the Age of ManBut while we have been busy changing the shape of the world we inhabit, the ways of living that we have been building have, as if under the cover of darkness, been transforming our bodies and altering the expression of our DNA, too. PRIMATE CHANGE beautifully unscrambles the complex architecture of our modern human bodies, built over millions of years and only starting to give up on us now. ''Our bodies are in a shockModern living is as bracing to the human body as jumping through a hole in the ice. Our bodies do not know what century they were born into and they are defending and deforming themselves in response'' Format Häftad Omfång 400 sidor Språk Engelska Förlag Octopus Publishing Group Utgivningsdatum 2020-06-11 ISBN 9781788401289
