Beyond Evolution

Meer over het boek

O'Hear critiques the trend of using evolutionary theory to explain human behavior, asserting that it falls short in addressing key aspects of human experience. He highlights self-consciousness, the pursuit of knowledge, moral understanding, and the appreciation of beauty as elements that go beyond our biological foundations. O'Hear contends that these distinctive traits cannot be adequately explained by evolution alone, emphasizing the complexity of human life that transcends mere biological origins.
