Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe

Humans communicate, cooperate, reason, coerce, and influence in new ways that separate us from all other species. We are unique. How does this knowledge give us clues into our evolutionary origins and hope for the future? Paul M. Bingham and Joanne Souza address these questions and more in a remarkable examination of the biological, behavioral, and historical evolution of our species. Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe reads like a gripping novel, while delivering an answer to Darwin's unanswered question; how did humans become unique? The authors, one a molecular and evolutionary biologist and the other a research psychologist, dedicated to the evolutionary logic of human social behavior, have taken us beyond the fundamental concepts of biology into a theory that merges the natural and social sciences. Their work opens an entirely new way of looking at science and the human future.
