HOW TO EVOLVE AND HOW NOT TO introduces us to an entirely new way of acting in the world - one that allows us to decide where we're going as a species.
The author blends his own personal history and cutting-edge evolutionary science to tell a spellbinding story of humanity's past and future.
Until recently, evolution was a slow, relentless, and impersonal force acting over millions of years. This understanding has undergone a quiet revolution in the last two decades.
We now know we inherit far more than our genes - including culture, economics, and politics - all shaped by evolutionary forces we can direct. The book presents a strategy for deliberately building communities harnessing the power of evolution
The book sketches a culture of culture, an economics based on meeting energy needs, and a social contract for politics grounded in biological, digital, and equity rights - concluding with a practice of evolution to get us there.
Evolution is fast becoming something we can do. We are moving from being mere spectators to players in the game of life.
