| Title | Homo Novus - A Human Without Illusions |
| Author(s) | Frey, Ulrich J;St??rmer, Charlotte;Willf??hr, Kai P |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | XIV, 291 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Converging evidence from disciplines including sociobiology, evolutionary psychology and human biology forces us to adopt a new idea of what it means to be a human. As cherished concepts such as free will, na??ve realism, humans as creation's crowning glory fall and our moral roots in ape group dynamics become clearer, we have to take leave of many concepts that have been central to defining our humanness. What emerges is a new human, the homo novus, a human being without illusions. Leading authors from many different fields explore these issues by addressing these illusions and providing evidence for the need to switch to this new idea of man, in spite of understandable reluctance to let go of our most beloved illusions |

| Title | Essential Building Blocks of Human Nature |
| Author(s) | Frey, Ulrich J;St??rmer, Charlotte;Willf??hr, Kai P |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011. |
| Description | XIV, 159 p. 67 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | To understand why we humans are as we are, it is necessary to look at the essential building blocks that??comprise our nature. The foundations of this structure??are??our evolutionary origins as primates and our social roots. Upon these rest features such as our??emotions, language and aesthetic preferences, with our??self-perceptions, self-deceptions and thirst for knowledge right at the top. The unifying force holding these blocks together is evolutionary theory. Evolution provides a deeper understanding of??human nature and, in particular,??of the??common roots of these different perspectives. To build a reliable and coherent model of man, leading authors from fields as diverse as primatology, anthropology, neurobiology and philosophy have joined forces to present essays?? each describing their own expert perspective. Together they provide a convincing and complete picture of our own human??nature |
