The mammal in the mirror: understanding our place in the natural world
David P. Barash, Ilona A. Barash
This text is an accessible overview of how the natural world works, seen in the context of how we - humans - fit into it. It begins with the micro issues, a close-up of DNA, genes, viruses and cells, and then moves out to explore the larger systems of human biology: sex and reproduction, the brain and behaviour, and energy. Finally, we stand back and take a look at the species "Homo sapiens" from the viewpoints of ecology, evolution and sociobiology. The result is a portrayal of mankind that enables readers with an interest, rather than a background, in science to become "bioliterate" and able to understand the discoveries that make headlines in the news.
