Abstract

This chapter introduces two central concepts: first, human space settlement as adaptive evolution, and second, how evolutionary and anthropological sciences can aid in making the project of human space colonization more likely to succeed. I then continue by defining some basic concepts and terms, and the essential time- and space-thoughtscapes addressed in this book.
