The Gilgamesh Gene Revisited

By Robin Russell-Jones

How it is that humanity has brought itself, along with most other species, to the brink of extinction? In The Gilgamesh Gene Revisited, Russell-Jones provides a time-line analysis of man's relationship with the natural world that stretches back deep into pre-history and illuminates the origins of many of our most cherished fables, myths, and religious creeds, which provide our belief systems governing our world and political thinking today.

In this second edition, Dr. Robin Russell-Jones expands on his vision of the human condition, providing new findings to many of our most abiding mysteries, including the origin of King Arthur and the Round Table, the Holy Grail, and the meaning of the Trinity.

As mankind rushes head-long into the Anthropocene, there is some hope as the author explains the steps we need to take to avert disaster: limiting human numbers; getting away from ever-expanding GDP as the only definition of progress; and urgently implementing the Global Carbon Incentive Fund as the most equitable, efficient, and effective way of putting a price on carbon emissions globally.
