Madelaine Bohme

A leading paleontologist discovers the missing link in human evolution. Somewhere west of Munich, Madelaine B hme and her colleagues dig for clues to the origins of humankind. What they discover is beyond anything they imagined- the fossilised bones of Danuvius guggenmosi ignite a global media frenzy. This ancient ancestor defies our knowledge of human history - his nearly twelve-million-year-old bones were not located in Africa - the so-called birthplace of humanity - but in Europe, and his features suggest we evolved much differently than scientists once believed. In prose that reads like a gripping detective novel, Ancient Bones interweaves the story of the dig that changed everything with the fascinating answer to a previously undecided and now pressing question- How, exactly, did we become human? Placing B hme's discovery alongside former theories of human evolution, the authors show how this remarkable find (and others in Eurasia) are forcing us to rethink the story we've been told about how we came to be, a story that has been our guiding narrative - until now

Unearthing the Astonishing, New Story of How We Became Human

Ancient Bones

Hüseyin I. Cicek

In recent years, the challenge of relating one’s own theological concept of man and his destiny to secular topics, such as the inviolability of human dignity, has generated a dynamic discourse about how Islamic anthropology can help cultivate and perfect the individual self and social ‘humanisation’. This anthology brings together contemporary Muslim and non-Muslim approaches to the secular notion of human dignity with reference to the Islamic tradition in general and the anthropology of the Qur’ān in particular. The collection presents approaches to Islamic theological anthropology, across a range of fields, especially with regard to the narrative of Adam and Iblīs, which occurs in all monotheistic traditions. It focuses on the specific ‘grammars’ of anthropological narratives at the levels of the canonical text of the Qur’ān itself (Section I) and the interpretations that focus on its performative discourse (Section II). Further to this, the normative implications of the human images that are derived from the canonical text and its interpretations are discussed in Section III. The dynamic interdependencies between the hermeneutics of the Qur’ān, theological anthropology and legal philosophy, particularly in the European context, are a promising field of research that not only allows a deeper insight into the multiperspectivity and indexicality of theological anthropology, but also has the potential to facilitate the long-overdue discursive cooperation and rapprochement between Muslim and non-Muslim scholarship.

Was unsere 7 Sinne mit der Seele zu tun haben Hören, Sehen, Schmecken, Riechen, Tasten, Fühlen, Körperbalance – darüber verbinden wir Innen und Außen. Durch unsere Sinne begreifen wir überhaupt erst das, was uns umgibt und wir können sie schärfen und verändern. Auf diese Weise lassen sich unser Erleben und unsere Gefühle beeinflussen. Es ist der direkteste Zugang, um Psyche und Intuition zu stärken. Der Wissenschaftsjournalist Rüdiger Braun lädt ein zu einer Reise über die Sinne zur Seele mit Exkursionen in moderne Forschungslabors, zu Coaching-Experten und Spitzenköchen. Eine Reihe von Übungen gibt Anstöße wie sich Sinnesleistungen überprüfen und trainieren lassen, um mehr Achtsamkeit im Alltag zu erfahren.
