Through a Glass Brightly : Using Science to See Our Species as We Really Are

Human beings are important, especially to themselves! But as science advances, it has become increasingly clear that we are less special and more natural than many people have long believed. This book shows how science has, throughout time, cut humanity "down to size," and how humanity has responded. As we finally look at ourselves honestly and accurately, we can identify ourselves as wonderfully natural, inseparable from the universe and other living things.
