In an age where body size and longevity are diminishing as populations grow, a groundbreaking theory challenges the classic Darwinian rules of evolution. "The Shrinking Horizon" explores the theory that the reduction in body size and longevity is not merely the consequence of declining atmospheric oxygen, but a sophisticated adaptation to limited resources and environmental pressure. As technology and brains become the currency of life, this paradigm-shifting book uncovers an unobserved equilibrium between nature and the inhabitants of it. Through the lenses of historical statistics, scientific description, and forecasted futurisms, the book invites readers to re-envision the definition of evolution and the future of life on our planet. This book is more like an educational book aimed at challenging the Darwinian theory and argue that humans face an evolution about intelligence, body sizes and population in relation to limited resources, having grown past threats of being eaten in the survival for the fittest concept. I argue that humans, among other creatures, were giants and less intelligent in distant history when they were fewer and in modern times are reducing body sizes with spiraling population growth, and increasing in intelligence to invent and innovate to still do the tasks they'd do if they still were giants since those needs have not changed. In that context, it can be argued that consumable energy resources have remained constant along history, and its humans and other organisms who have to adjust body sizes to achieve sustainability, some even go extinct for this reorganizational reason.
