"Evolution is much more than biological change. "Angst and Evolution" looks at the philosophical themes of evolution. Seeking insight from many sources, it is an enlightening look at how humanity has changed over the years, and how angst has played a factor in this evolution. Being one of the few creatures that feels guilt, the guilt of simple things people don't even realize may create angst. An intriguing dissection of the human mind discussing the very purpose and meaning of humanity, "Angst and Evolution" is sure to give the reader much to think about."
