Free Download Introduction to Biosemiotics: The New Biological Synthesis by Marcello Barbieri
English | PDF (True) | 2006 | 530 Pages | ISBN : 1402048130 | 7.8 MB
Combining research approaches from biology, philosophy and linguistics, the field of Biosemiotics proposes that animals, plants and single cells all engage in semiosis – the conversion of objective signals into conventional signs. This has important implications and applications for issues ranging from natural selection to animal behavior and human psychology, leaving biosemiotics at the cutting edge of the research on the fundamentals of life.

In biological research, we’re currently in a golden age of data. It’s never been easier to assemble large datasets to probe biological questions. But these large datasets come with their own problems. How to clean and validate data? How to combine datasets from multiple sources? And how to look for patterns in large, complex datasets and display your findings?

Thinking Race Social Myths and Biological Realities

Free Download Richard A. Goldsby, "Thinking Race: Social Myths and Biological Realities"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1538105012 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.6 mb
Thinking Race clarifies the relationship between biology and race, showing how racism can result from a misguided blending of biology with social construction. Using arresting examples, Richard Goldsby and Mary Catherine Bateson aim to help readers accept the reality of human difference while understanding human unity. Controversial issues of race and IQ, race and athletic ability, and perceptions of race and beauty are examined, as are those of affirmative action and reparations for slavery. The authors also explore how income inequality, healthcare disparities, unequal access to education, an unfair justice system, and mass incarceration all call for constructive social policies that remodel American society in ways that will build a better, more resilient, and happier society. The goal is a society in which equal civil rights are clearly derived from the recognition of equal human rights, and equal opportunity provides the pathway to equitable results.

Hereditary The Persistence of Biological Theories of Crime

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download Julien Larregue, "Hereditary: The Persistence of Biological Theories of Crime"
English | ISBN: 1503636437 | 2024 | 252 pages | EPUB, PDF | 6 MB + 15 MB
Since the 1990s, a growing number of criminal courts around the world have been using expert assessments based on behavioral genetics and neuroscience to evaluate the responsibility and dangerousness of offenders. Despite this rapid circulation, however, we still know very little about the scientific knowledge underlying these expert evaluations. Hereditary traces the historical development of biosocial criminology in the United States from the 1960s to the present, showing how the fate of this movement is intimately linked to that of the field of criminology as a whole. In claiming to identify the biological and environmental causes of so-called "antisocial" behaviors, biosocial criminologists are redefining the boundary between the normal and the pathological. Julien Larregue examines what is at stake in the development of biosocial criminology. Beyond the origins of delinquency, Larregue addresses the reconfiguration of expertise in contemporary societies, and in particular the territorial struggles between the medical and legal professions. For if the causes of crime are both biological and social, its treatment may call for medical as well as legal solutions.
