The Evolution of Man Revisited: Man Becomes Machine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480958036)

The Evolution of Man Revisited: Man Becomes Machine is a scientific/philosophical treatise on evolution, but with a difference: Dr Michael F Lesser is more concerned with the prospects of evolution than the past of evolution. In cogently argued prose, he shows how man has evolved as a thinking organism and posits some ideas about how this process may continue in the future, with the advantage of looking back to his original book (out of print, Vantage Press, Copyright 1991. Library of Congress, Catalog 90-91364). Wondering how modern medicine has altered gene pools, allowing individuals that in the past would have perished in the process of natural selection to survive and reproduce, he sees new problems ahead of man. However, with faith in man's adaptive abilities, he also sees great possibilities, as will his readers.
