Where adaptation is successful, healthy children survive for another generation, and another spin of the evolutionary dice. This paper traces the journey through major milestones in human evolutionary and cultural history and examines the role played by climate en route in forcing dramatic change of course. Some may argue we have mastered the dance, others may prefer to describe it as a last minute frenzy before the music stops.From:uniofsydneyViews:0 0ratingsTime:19:54More inEducation
