Reviews
"We need Darwin now more than ever. This book shows that understanding evolution has existential import for humans now, and in a way that wasn't even true in Darwin's time. It's full of surprises; you'll find the sections on the alpha male archetype in 21st century politics funny, on target, and absolutely terrifying."- Robert P. Crease, Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Stony Brook University, Columnist, Physics World , Winner, 2021 William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal and Prize, for "describing key humanities concepts for scientists, and explaining the significance of key scientific ideas for humanists.""Combining her profound knowledge and superb scholarship within and across the fields of philosophy and science, Maxine Sheets-Johnstone shows how awareness of our connection to others and the natural world around us-and how we understand these relations--will define how we negotiate the 21st century. By this she means how we educate our children, what it will take to instill and restore wonder and curiosity in the face of an increasingly mechanical world view. Hers is the voice of a wisdom grounded in our evolutionary origins, where the truths of experience constitute a proper aim of science and the usual duality of subject and object disappears. For those who inquire how we become 'mindful bodies' and all that that entails, this book is for you. Delightfully written and down to earth, it provides us a wise, yet practical way to grasp our true nature."- J. A.

Synopsis
This interdisciplinary book focuses on Charles Darwin's extensively detailed observations of all forms of animate life across the global world--humans included. These existential realities of Nature are not commonly recognized in today's world, yet they are all of sizable import in impacting both flora and fauna, thus in human understandings of the nature of the world and the nature of all forms of animate life. Darwin's descriptively anchored observations furthermore tie in directly with Edmund Husserl's phenomenological analyses of experience. However different their inquiries and wonder at the world and at human experience, their analyses show how descriptive foundations and a concern with origins are integral to both, and how methodology and a living dynamics are central to a recognition of the complementarity of biological-neurological sciences and phenomenology., This interdisciplinary book that is thematically tied to Charles Darwin's extensively detailed observations of all forms of animate life across the global world--humans included--shows how neuroscience and phenomenology are complementary and how the driving force of wonder--what Darwin called "an intellectual emotion"--propels them both.
