PITCH:
«The idea of a missing link between humanity and our animal ancestors predates evolution and popular science and
actually has religious roots in the deist concept of the Great Chain of Being. Yet, the metaphor has lodged itself in
the contemporary imagination, and new fossil discoveries are often hailed in headlines as revealing the elusive
transitional step, the moment when we stopped being "animal" and started being "human". In The
Accidental Species, Henry Gee, longtime paleontology editor at Nature, takes aim at this misleading notion,
arguing that it reflects a profound misunderstanding of how evolution works and, when applied to the evolution of our
own species, supports mistaken ideas about our own place in the universe.
 
Gee presents a robust and stark
challenge to our tendency to see ourselves as the acme of creation. Far from being a quirk of religious fundamentalism,
human exceptionalism, Gee argues, is an error that also infects scientific thought. Touring the many features of human
beings that have recurrently been used to distinguish us from the rest of the animal world, Gee shows that our
evolutionary outcome is one possibility among many, one that owes more to chance than to an organized progression to
supremacy. He starts with bipedality, which he shows could have arisen entirely by accident, as a by-product of sexual
selection, moves on to technology, large brain size, intelligence, language, and, finally, sentience. He reveals each of
these attributes to be alive and well throughout the animal world - they are not, indeed, unique to our species.

The Accidental Species combines Gee’s firsthand experience on the editorial side of many
incredible paleontological findings with healthy skepticism and humor to create a book that aims to overturn popular
thinking on human evolution - the key is not what’s missing, but how we’re linked.»

Torrentz.eu is no more. Apart from Google that crawls the whole web
and downlists (if not delists) torrent links, multi-metasearch engines aiosearch.com, torrentzeu.to, torrents-pro.net,
and re-indexers torrentproject.se, bitsnoop.com and zooqle.com will help you in your search for torrents (and only
torrents) floating in torrent space. You can search these sites by keyword(s) from title or author's name and, for some,
by hash code.

Remember that, once created, torrents never cease to exist even when de-indexed, DMCA'd or left
for dead - unseeded. And that a torrent listed with no seeds on a particular set of trackers is not necessarily a dead
torrent (Good critters inhabit the DHT-PEX layer though they aren't accounted for in torrent stats).
