The technological capacity to transform biology - repairing, reshaping and replacing body parts, chemicals and functions – is now part of our lives. Humanity is confronted with a variety of affordable and non-invasive 'enhancement technologies': anti-ageing medicine, aesthetic surgery, cognitive and sexual enhancers, lifestyle drugs, prosthetics and hormone supplements. This collection focuses on why people find these practices so seductive and provides ethnographic insights into people’s motives and aspirations as they embrace or reject enhancement technologies, which are closely entangled with negotiations over gender, class, age, nationality and ethnicity.

The Human Race is about to die away, leaving the planet they were born to the elements of decay and worsening climatological disasters. Future archaeologists who now have two heads, six legs and four arms discover some five million years from now that the end of the Human Race could have been avoided. They seem to have had the knowledge and the technological know-how to select out of their DNA, all the qualities of their kind that were destroying themselves. But, for some reason, they chose to do nothing and allow the deadliest catastrophe in Earth's long history to go on unabated, until finally they were all gone Sound like Science Fiction? Actually, this is how some future species of life may describe us in their Science text-books when they dig up evidence of a race of intelligent creatures - US - who once lived here. We are currently only a few years away from the total destruction of all life on Earth. The tsunamis are getting worse, the Hurricanes are devastating our lands. Plagues of Locusts are eating our food. Saharan dust storms are blowing all around the planet. The oceans are dying. The planet is heating up. Food production is down. Population continues to explode. Rain forests are on fire. Even the forests of the Arctic Circle are on fire. The Arctic Ice Cap is practically gone. The Ozone protection layers of our atmosphere are disappearing. There is now more plastic in the oceans than fish. Toxic chemicals fill the air that we breathe and toxic waste fills the water that we drink. Worse yet, more and more people on the planet are demanding more and more energy be produced for their comfort and luxury. We have in our DNA an innate instinct for luxury and easy living. This has been the Holy Grail for centuries. But today, more and more of us can see the unintended consequences of an out-of-control quest for comfort and consumption of Earth's depleted resources. This book is a primer on how to expunge all of our evil ways.

'A work of remarkable scope' - Guardian FT Best science books of 2018 Primate Change has been adapted into a radio series for the BBC WORLD SERVICE. * This is the road from climate change to primate change. PRIMATE CHANGE is a wide-ranging, polemical look at how and why the human body has changed since humankind first got up on two feet. Spanning the entirety of human history - from primate to transhuman - Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book investigates where we came from, who we are today and how modern technology will change us beyond recognition. In the last two hundred years, humans have made such a tremendous impact on the world that our geological epoch is about to be declared the 'Anthropocene', or the Age of Man. But while we have been busy changing the shape of the world we inhabit, the ways of living that we have been building have, as if under the cover of darkness, been transforming our bodies and altering the expression of our DNA, too. Primate Change beautifully unscrambles the complex architecture of our modern human bodies, built over millions of years and only starting to give up on us now. 'Our bodies are in a shock. Modern living is as bracing to the human body as jumping through a hole in the ice. Our bodies do not know what century they were born into and they are defending and deforming themselves in response.'

How artists at the turn of the twentieth century broke with traditional ways of posing the bodies of human figures to reflect modern understandings of human consciousness. With this book, Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen brings a new formal and conceptual rubric to the study of turn-of-the-century modernism, transforming our understanding of the era’s canonical works. Butterfield-Rosen analyzes a hitherto unexamined formal phenomenon in European art: how artists departed from conventions for posing the human figure that had long been standard. In the decades around 1900, artists working in different countries and across different media began to present human figures in strictly frontal, lateral, and dorsal postures. The effect, both archaic and modern, broke with the centuries-old tradition of rendering bodies in torsion, with poses designed to simulate the human being’s physical volume and capacity for autonomous thought and movement. This formal departure destabilized prevailing visual codes for signifying the existence of the inner life of the human subject. Exploring major works by Georges Seurat, Gustav Klimt, and the dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky— replete with new archival discoveries—Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition combines intensive formal analysis with inquiries into the history of psychology and evolutionary biology. In doing so, it shows how modern understandings of human consciousness and the relation of mind to body were materialized in art through a new vocabulary of postures and poses.
