I read Scott Atran’s book “In Gods We Trust: The Evolutionary Landscape of Religion” and reflected on the origins of human religiosity. When I ask people what distinguishes humans from other animals, they often mention the presence of intelligence, the use of tools, creativity, and religiosity. Intelligence and creativity come from a large and developed brain, and tool...
Noah Yuval Harari’s book Sapiens got me thinking about whether war is a positive influence on human development. World War I and World War II are two of the most devastating examples of wars that have affected the world. World War I was a war centered in Europe that took place from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. It was a huge war that pitted the Allied powers of Great Britain...
I read Paradise for Sale: A Parable of Nature and reflected on how to live a sustainable life. With the development of advanced science and technology, humans are living in unprecedented comfort and convenience. The old saying of “compatible mama” is long gone. At least, we don’t have to live in fear of being attacked by wild animals, and smallpox was declared eradicated...
I read and wrote a book review of Darwin’s Table by Korean professor Daeik Jang. It is about the natural history of rape from an evolutionary perspective. As evolutionary theory has developed, there have been many discussions about what is subject to natural selection, and one example of this is the question of whether rape is an adaptation. This was first addressed in...
I read and wrote a book review of the book Ancient futures: learning from Ladakh by Helena Norberg-Hodge. When we transform backward societies into modern ones, we often call the process ‘development’, ‘urbanization’ and ‘westernization’. Development is an effort to change the society we live in for the better. Through development, societies become more...
I read Heisenberg’s “The Part and the Whole” and wrote a book report on why engineer accountability is important. Heisenberg was a physicist known for his uncertainty principle, one of the core theories of quantum physics. Heisenberg’s book Part and Whole is a collection of debates he had with many scholars during his lifetime. There are many arguments, but in this...
I read the book Epigenetics: the ultimate mystery of inheritance by Richard C. Francis and wrote a book review. The book ‘Epigenetics’ was a book that dealt with concepts that may be at odds with my previous views of ‘heredity’. In this book, Richard C. Francis put forward a theory called epigenetics, which states that some of the genes an individual has can be...
In this blog post, I’ve read Darwin’s Table, a book by Korean professor Dae-Ik Jang, and I’d like to discuss whether evolution is progress. The theory of evolution, which was born from the roots of Darwin’s Origin of Species, has grown up under the tree, and many theories related to evolution have settled in the modern era. Many of these theories are complementary...
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the development and future of biotechnology, the implications of the end of Homo sapiens, and the definition of Homo sapiens. Marvel’s First Avenger, Captain America, has muscles and strength that humans don’t have. Many people envy Captain America’s strength, and now it’s not hard to have them if you have the money. This is...
I read the book Darwin’s Table by Professor Dae-Ik Jang from South Korea and wrote my personal views on the theory of evolution. Until the end of the 16th century, the theory that the Earth was the center of the universe and that all stars and planets, including the Sun, revolved around the Earth (heliocentrism) was firmly entrenched in people’s minds. Galilei’s...
