La nueva Ilustración Evolucionista / The new Evolutionary Enlightenment

...In its light, human history, for the first time, becomes intelligible, and human behaviour understandable as never before. This radical transformation in human understanding - which has come to a peak in the mid 1990's - I shall call "the new evolutionary enlightenment" . I confidently predict that, because it is based on fully tested scientific knowledge, it will far outshine the enlightenment of the 18th century. -Derek Freeman-

Ha muerto Galbraith

http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2006/04/30/obituarios/1146376647.html

El economista "Liberal" J.K. Galbraith ha muerto.

Galbraith fue a la divulgación de economía lo que Attembourg hubiera sido a la zoología si hubiera presentado un programa de caza y pesca. Un divulgador muy popular, como Ramoncín aquí.

Entre sus méritos mas destacados está el haberme hecho perder un tiempo apreciable leyendo sus bodrios.

Recomendaciones

"The New Evolutionary Enlightenment" is an excellent place to find thoughtful and objective evolutionarily-informed discussions of the most fundamental questions facing our world".

Craig T. Palmer. Associate Professor, Cultural Anthropology. University of Missouri.Ph.D., Arizona State University.

" I think The New Evolutionary Enlightenment is an interesting bit of academic entrepreneurship".

Merlin Donald. Fundador de la disciplina de la Arqueología Cognitiva.

"Me encanta La Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista. Aúna la calidad de la investigación de los textos como la imaginación puesta en las ilustraciones. Que siga prosperando este magnífico proyecto.

In other words, I have enormously enjoyed this website, both the well-researched text and the highly imaginative illustrations. Here's wishing you continuing success, Buena suerte"

Sarah B. Hrdy. American anthropologist and primatologist who has made several major contributions to evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.

"Recommendation of Javier Moreno, Germanico: Senor Moreno interviewed me on line for his compilation the New Evolutionary Enlightenment.I found his questions both intelligent and penetrating. I enjoyed answering them and being caused to think in depth about serious and sometimes fundamental matters. He has considerable talent in an area in which interviewers are prone to be lamentably superficial".

John Postgate, Profesor Emérito de Microbiología.de la Universidad de Sussex.

“Javier is editor of "The new Evolutionary Enlightenment" (http://ilevolucionista.blogspot.com), which is a blog concerned with the science and philosophy of Mind. His many interviews with leading researchers in this field provide valuable insights into current thinking about Mind.”

Steven Phillips, Senior Research Scientist, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).

“Javier interviewed me as Editor of La Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista in a most knowledgable yet empathic way. I was well pleased with the result and consider that his on line site speaks for itself with so many excellent, highly readable and pertinent interviews. I can thoroughly recommend him".

Michael Russell, NASA Senior Research Fellow, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

“Javier interviewed me for his website http://www.ilevolucionista.blogspot.com/ in 2009. He has built up an impressive collection of interviews there with almost every key thinker in evolutionary psychology. This in itself is testimony to his professionalism, dedication, and intellectual curiosity".

Dylan Evans, Lecturer in Behavioural Science, University College Cork.

“Javier Moreno, aka "Germanico," has performed an important service in making the work of scholars and writers in the field of evolutionary biology and allied fields accessible to the wider interantional public by designing and curating the website La Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista / The New Evolutionary Enlightenment. From my own experience as one of the participants and a reader of dozens of other entries, I can attest that the interviews are conducted in a penetrating fashion with the objective of extracting the most distinctive aspects of each writer's work, the translations (between English and Spanish as required) are done in a careful and lucid fashion, and the physical production is of a high aesthetic quality. In my opinion, Javier has made an original and useful contribution to world culture".

Stuart Newman, Professor, New York Medical College.

"This website is an extraordinary labour of love, with detailed and penetrating questions to many of the leading figures in evolutionary biology. It is a tribute to the quality of the questions, and their creative online presentation, that so many notable evolutionary biologists have answered, not merely quick answers, but detailed and comprehensive essays in many cases. This is an unusual and meaningful achievement".

Nick Lane. Bioquímico y Profesor honorario en el University College de Londres.

"One of the most interesting interview sites for the sciences of human nature, available to Spanish- and English-speakers alike".

Steven Pinker. Catedrático de Psicología en Harvard.

“Javier's website, The new Evolutionary Enlightenment, is well worth a visit. You will find interviews with all the most interesting people thinking about the evolutionary basis of human behaviour (and also C & U Frith)”.

Chris Frith, Emeritus professor of neuropsychology, University College London.

"Recuerdo bien la entrevista que me hicieron en la Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista, una de las mejores y más sensatas que me han hecho. El planteamiento de la misma y la precisión y rigor de ese planteamiento dan como resultado el periodismo científico mejor que he leido en nuestro pais. La lectura de entrevistas a otros cientificos, que conozco personalmente razonablemente bien, confirman muchísimo estas impresiones. En resumen, calificaría su trabajo como 'excelente".

Manuel Nieto Sampedro. Investigador del Instituto Cajal del CSIC.

"I'd like to recommend Javier "Germanico" Moreno as en amazing person, whose intellect and passion resulted in creation of one of the most professional popular-science web services. The list of the outstanding researchers from different fields of science, who took part in his project is really impressive. I'm sure he will be able to engage himself in other activities with equal passion and professionalism".

Mikolaj Urbanowski. Arqueólogo de la Szczecin University.

"He tenido la oportunidad de conocer a Javier Moreno, quien lleva a cabo un proyecto-gesta bastante impresionante, llamado La Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista, en la que ha recopilado, en forma de entrevista corta, pero profunda, el pensamiento y opinión de una gran lista de autores, pensadores y científicos en un área que abarca desde la biología hasta la psicología, siempre con la evolución como hilo conductor. Merece mucho la pena recorrer la larga lista de personajes y leer sus pequeños ensayos, y es una obra cuyo esfuerzo y curiosidad intelectual merece ser conocido y reconocido".

César Menor-Salván. Astrobiólogo del NSF-NASA Center for Chemical Evolution Georgia Institute of Technology y Profesor de Bioquímica en la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares.

It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Javier Moreno who curates the website La Nueva Ilustración Evolucionista / The New Evolutionary Enlightenment. The well-conceived questions made it easy to provide a logical sequence of answers. The site is a mine of fascinating interviews (in English and Spanish) with people who have contributed to the evolutionary approach to understanding biology, especially the brain. It is a significant contribution to the scientific record, and a valuable resource for us all.

Graham Rook, Emeritus professor of Medical Microbiology, UCL (University College London).
