Sobre IBD

’A great journalist with a whip-like satirical prose style& Wolfe’s great gift is to make the heavy seem light and this book is such an entertaining polemic that I read it in a day and immediately wanted to read it again.’ - Bryan Appleyard Sunday Times Tom Wolfe whose legend began in journalism takes us on an eye-opening journey through language. The Kingdom of Speech is a paradigm-shifting argument that speech - not evolution - is responsible for humanity’s complex societies and achievements.From Alfred Russel Wallace the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans Wolfe examines the solemn long-faced laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism old and Neo and finds it irrelevant here in our Kingdom of Speech.

Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
