There are two big problems that science still has not resolved. They are: What are we? Where do we come from? These two questions have troubled people for centuries. 150 years ago, Charles Darwin wrote two books: "On the Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex". In these two books, the theory of species evolution was proposed: all species are constantly evolving; the present people and all species are formed through natural selection. The basis of this theory is based on the comparison of biological forms. Now, knowing that all the genetic information of living things is completely determined with DNA, is evolution still correct? Did humanity evolve from apes? This book will answer these questions.

The 'history of ideas', better known these days as intellectual history, is a flourishing field of study which has been the object of much controversy but hardly any historical exploration. This major new work from Donald R. Kelley is the first comprehensive history of intellectual history, tracing the study of the history of thought from ancient, medieval and early modern times, its emergence as the 'history of ideas' in the 18th century, and its subsequent expansion. The point of departure for this study is the perspective opened up by Victor Cousin in the early 19th-century on 'Eclecticism' and its association with the history of philosophy established by Renaissance scholars. Kelley considers a broad range of topics, including the rivalry between 'ideas' and language, the rise of cultural history, the contributions of certain 19th- and 20th-century practitioners of the history of ideas in interdisciplinary areas of philosophy, literature and the sciences, and finally the current state of intellectual history. The central theme of the book is the interplay between the canon of philosophical thought and the tradition of language and textual study, the divergence of the latter marking the 'descent of ideas' into the realm of cultural history.

Ellen Hinsey's new collection, Update on the Descent is a powerful meditation on violence, war and human division, drawing on personal and family experiences-including the murder of her grandmother-as well as research at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Dynamically and innovatively written in lyrical and anti-lyrical forms, including prose and aphorism. Update on the Descent is a masterwork, an exploration of the extremes of the human condition, tackling issues of civil strife and tyranny, reconciliation and the renewal of the spirit.
