Synopsis

""Mans Supreme Inheritance"" is a book written by F. Matthias Alexander that explores the concept of human evolution in relation to civilization. The author argues that humans have the ability to consciously guide and control their own evolution, and that this ability has been largely overlooked in modern society. Alexander delves into topics such as the importance of posture and movement for physical and mental well-being, the role of education in shaping individuals and society, and the potential for humans to tap into their innate creative abilities. The book is a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to consider their own potential for personal and societal evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
