Description

Is humanity on the brink of extinction? Many reputable scientists and some of the best minds on the planet are worried. If the prospect has captured their attention, it behooves the rest of us to listen up, as well.

In this book we explore why humanity, the human species, could be on the road to extinction. What is it about the species' own behavior that has put it on this path? What features of the human mind and body, as well as our life in groups, define this journey? How might we think and act differently to prevent or slow the descent into the almost unimaginable levels of suffering such a trip implies?

Manifesto for a Species finds answers to these questions in how human beings live in groups. Our life as social beings is arguably one of our most characteristic features, as well as one of the most pleasurable. Yet, as human groups expanded in size and organized to carry out their goals, hierarchical and often violent behaviors emerged. Since technologies were also evolving, the groups found themselves on a treadmill of escalating violence. The result was the endless series of conflicts that make up human history. Must the future of humanity replay this past?

Join the discussion on the human future. Read the Manifesto and comment on its contents. Then, consider how you might contribute to preventing humanity's drift towards extinction in your own world and life. Your species' future may depend upon it.
