The IMPACTS Dynamic: Working Against Dispersal in Human Society and Across the Universe - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the epilogue to Guns, Germs, and Steel, author and scientist Jared Diamond writes, "The challenge now is to develop human history as a science, on a par with acknowledged historical sciences such as astronomy, geology, and evolutionary biology." And the highly respected author and biologist, Edward O. Wilson, mused that a new basis for spiritual values might be found, not in the usual religious sources, but in what he sees as the inspiring story of human origins and history. "We need to create a new epic based on the origins of humanity... I am speaking both of deep history - evolutionary, genetic history - and then, added on to that and interacting with it, the cultural history recorded for the past 10,000 years or so.'' Dickey Eason does both in this book. He discovers the science that Diamond seeks, and with this discovery he creates a totally different view of the development of modern humans, beginning with the ancient San tribe of Africa from over 100,000 years ago. This book forces us to look at EVERYTHING differently: recorded history and pre-history, science, religion, war and peace, men and women, human society, business and trade, the arts, medicine, the universe, and everything else. It turns out that the dynamic driving the social world is exactly the same one driving the physical world. Understand the simple hydrogen atom with its one proton and one electron and you understand human civilization. Two major forces have a battle going throughout the universe, and we are as much a part of that battle as are stars and black holes. It is all much more formulaic than we would have ever imagined.
