An Evolutionary Biologist Imagines the Future Traits of Space Colonists
How will future generations make the voyage from our earthly home to the planets and beyond—and what will that mean for our species?
Cameron M. Smith, Ph.D., teaches human evolution at Portland State University. He has written about evolution in his books The Fact of Evolution (Prometheus, 2011) and Emigrating Beyond Earth (Springer Praxis, 2012). His new book is a technical foundation for space settlement: Principles of Space Anthropology: Establishing a Science of Human Space Settlement (Springer, 2019).
