Space Race 2.0 has started, and the winner—America or Communist China—will define the future of humanity. The space race was a critical determining factor in the Cold War. After its Sputnik miracle, the Soviets’ loss of the race to the Moon undermined the international mystique of Communism and crushed the USSR’s dreams of world domination. America’s wildly successful Apollo program, by sharp contrast, brought America global glory and prestige—along with a plethora of “miracle technologies” that accelerated economic growth and strengthened US national security for half a century.

Wie sind Menschen entstanden? Wer waren ihre Vorfahren? Warum gibt es überhaupt Menschen? Warum sehen die Menschen der verschiedenen Erdteile und Länder anders aus? Warum unterscheiden sich Frauen und Männer in Merkmalen wie Größe und Behaarung? Warum werden Menschen krank, warum sterben sie? Warum gibt es Kunst und Kultur? Beispielhaft zeigt Thomas Junker, wie erfolgreich die Evolutionsbiologie menschliche Eigenschaften bereits heute erklären kann, wo offene Fragen sind und wo sie noch an Grenzen stößt.

Humans are primates, much like chimps—or so we've been continually told. Yet recent discoveries show that our species has a different brain design, function, and chemistry; different eating, sleeping, mating, and rearing patterns; a different metabolism; and a different physiology than apes. Nor is our behavior much like theirs, and we don't even have the feet made for climbing trees that define the primate order. Could it be that conceiving of ourselves as primates isn't helping us understand what it is to be human?
