Humanity must steer its evolution. As human knowledge moves a step
ahead of Darwin's theories, this book presents the emergence of
human-made meta-evolution shaping our alternative futures. This
novel process poses fateful challenges to humanity, which require
regulation of emerging science and technology which may endanger
the future of our species. However, to do so successfully, a novel
'humanity-craft' has to be developed; main ideologies and
institutions need redesign; national sovereignty has to be limited;
a decisive global regime becomes essential; some revaluation of
widely accepted norms becomes essential; and a novel type of
political leader, based on merit in addition to public support, is
urgently needed. Taking into account the strength of nationalism
and vested interests, it may well be that only catastrophes will
teach humanity to metamorphose into a novel epoch without too high
transition costs. But initial steps, such as United Nation reforms,
are urgent in order to contain calamities and may soon become
feasible. Being both interdisciplinary and based on personal
experience of the author, this book adds up to a novel paradigm on
steering human evolution. It will be of great interest to scholars
and researchers of modern history, evolution sciences, future
studies, political science, philosophy of action, and science and
technology. It will also be of wide appeal to the general reader
anxious about the future of life on Earth. Comments on the Corona
pandemic add to the book's concrete significance.
