2024 Nautilus Book Award Gold Medal Winner : Restorative Earth Practices“A bright book [ that ] shows a manner out of the destructive trap of Anthropocentric arrogance . ”—Vandana Shiva , author ofTerra Viva“An unusually think - agitative and challenging book . ”—Dr . James A. Shapiro , author ofEvolution : A View from the 21st CenturyBiocivilisationsis an important , original rethinking of the mystery story of life and its thick dubiousness , search the complex civilisations that exist on Earth long before humans . What is lifespan ? Many scientists conceive life can be reduced to ‘ mechanistic ’ factors , such as genes and information codes . Yet there is a growing U. S. Army of scientists , philosophers and artists who reject this panorama . The factor metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading . If there is a way to reduce life to a single rationale , that principle must recognize the creativity of living , turning transmitted determinism on its head .
The termbiocivilisationsis the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of liveliness , as fight down to a quasi - certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution . Life be without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth ’s universe . Life will also retain without humans long after our inevitable extinction .
InBiocivilisations , Dr Predrag Slijepčević shows how bacteria , amoebas , flora , insects , razzing , whales , elephants and numberless other species not only preceded human existence but demonstrate elements of how we lionise human civilisation – complex communicating , agriculture , skill , fine art , medicine and more .
human must seek to take over this wiseness from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own . By rethink the current scientific image , Dr Slijepčević make clean that a transformation – from a naïve youthful species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will salve us from our own violence and the wildness we bring down on the respite of our living satellite .
“ register this book if you would like to understand the intelligence of living system . ”—Dr Denis Noble , University of Oxford
