Anarchy evolution

Most people know Greg Graffin as the lead singer of the punk band Bad Religion, but few know that he also received a PhD from Cornell University and teaches evolution at the University of California at Los Angeles. In Anarchy Evolution, Graffin argues that art and science have a deep connection. As an adolescent growing up when "drugs, sex, and trouble could be had on any given night," Graffin discovered that the study of evolution provided a framework through which he could make sense of the world. In this provocative and personal book, he describes his own coming of age as an artist and the formation of his naturalist worldview on questions involving God, science, and human existence. While the battle between religion and science is often displayed in the starkest of terms, Anarchy Evolution provides fresh and nuanced insights into the long-standing debate about atheism and the human condition. It is a book for anyone who has ever wondered if God really exists.

  • "Viele kennen Greg Graffin als Frontmann der Punkrockband Bad Religion. Nur wenige wissen, dass er ein naturwissenschaftliches Studium mit dem Doktorgrad abgeschlossen hat und an der Universität von Kalifornien in Los Angeles Evolutionsbiologie lehrt. In 'War Darwin ein Punk?' schlägt Graffin eine Brücke zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft. Als Jugendlicher - in einer Zeit, als er 'jede Nacht Drogen, Sex und Ärger hätte haben können' - entdeckte Graffin, dass das Studium der Evolution ihm eine Grundstruktur für den Sinn des Lebens aufzeigte. In diesem provokanten und sehr persönlichen Buch beschreibt er seine Reifung als Künstler und die Entwicklung seiner naturalistischen Weltanschauung. Während der Streit zwischen Religion und Wissenschaft häufig aus extremen Blickwinkeln dargestellt wird, zeigt sein Buch neue, detaillierte Einsichten zu der immerwährenden Debatte um Atheismus und den Sinn des Lebens. Es ist ein Buch für jeden, der sich schon einmal gefragt hat, ob Gott wirklich existiert. GREGORY WALTER GRAFFIN, geb. 1964, ist Sänger und Songwriter der legendären Punkband Bad Religion, die er 1980 in Los Angeles gründete. Graffin studierte Zoologie und promovierte an der Cornell-Universität. Seither ist er neben seiner Musikerkarriere als Dozent für Biologie und Paläontologie an der Universität von Kalifornien in Los Angeles tätig. Er lebt in Ithaca, New York, und Los Angeles. STEVE OLSON ist ein preisgekrönter Wissenschaftsautor und Verfasser des Buches Herkunft und Geschichte des Menschen: Was die Gene über unsere Vergangenheit verraten, das 2002 auf der Shortlist für den National Book Award stand. Olson ist Autor für die National Academy of Science sowie für andere Organisationen und zahlreiche naturwissenschaffliche Zeitschriften."
