Originally published in 1972, Homo Sapiens examines how humans
emerged from among the millions of other species and achieved our
unique position within the animal kingdom. The book examines what
direction future evolution will take and what may be regarded as
the 'meaning' of human existence. It stipulates that these are the
questions for which no real basis of discussion existed before the
20th century, and at the time of publication, some were still
without a definite answer. The book sets out analyse these
questions and the continuing debate that has arisen from their
study. This is an account of the uniqueness of man in the animal
kingdom, how this uniqueness arose during evolution, and what
traces of it can be detected in animals other than man. The book
describes the mental and physical evolution of man, from his
earliest ancestors to the present day. He also gives an account of
man's cultural development seeking to establish that there is an
underlying principal of cultural evolution, a principle that has
been denied by many historians. Later chapters deal with the future
and with possible forecasts of mankind's further physical,
intellectual and cultural evolution.
