At a global scale, love hormones are now redundant in the critical
period surrounding birth ... reasons for questions? Between 1970
and 1990, in many parts of the world, the rates of caesareans
escalated from roughly 5% to roughly 25%. During this short phase
of history, the father's participation became routine. Is there a
link between these facts? Health care systems are on the way to
collapsing. Should we go on focusing on the preventive and curative
treatments of particular diseases or should we give a greater
importance to the way our basic adaptive systems, involved in what
we commonly call health, reach a high degree of maturity? These
examples are sufficient to illustrate the "neo-Socratic attitude"
of the author. Our contemporaries are constantly dealing with
unprecedented situations. Question marks, therefore, can symbolise
the current phase of our history. Throughout this book, radically
new situations are analysed, before appropriate questions are
phrased. At a time when people commonly debate on the long-term
effects of human activities without considering the probable
transformations of Homo, one cannot avoid a preliminary question:
How to reach an audience made up of female and male open-minded
people who are turned towards the future but have not yet realised
that the important period surrounding birth has been radically
transformed during the past decades? In the age of cultural
blindness related to overspecialization, The Future of Homo is also
a training tool to think across boundaries.
