He argues that we are not smarter than our genes and are destined for extinction. If he really believes that why did he write the book? I guess he's hoping it will serve as a wake up call before we turn the planet into a gravel pit that serves as a cesspool. I hope he's wrong. If everyone had two kids and cut back even a little bit, the population would slowly contract to a more sustainable level. The planet can't sustain 6 billion people all living like an average American. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From famines and deforestation to water pollution, global warming, and the rapid rate of extinction of plants and animals - the extent of the global damage wrought by humankind is staggering. Why have we allowed our environment to reach such a crisis? What produced the catastrophic population explosion that so taxes the earth's resources?
Reg Morrison's search for answers led him to ponder our species' astonishing evolutionary success. His book describes how a spiritual outlook combined with a capacity for rational thought have enabled Homo sapiens to prosper through the millennia. It convincingly depicts these traits as part of our genetic makeup - and as the likely cause of our ultimate downfall against the inexorable laws of nature. The book will change the way readers think about human evolution and the fate of our species. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
