About this Item

Print on Demand. This book approaches our understanding of human evolution from a scientific viewpoint, beginning with the theory of biological evolution. The author presents evidence to support how humans evolved from ape-like ancestors millions of years ago. Expanding on this, the author delves into the continuing evolution of humanity, including intellectual, social, and physical changes that are still ongoing in modern times. Blending historical and anthropological research, this book places the study of human evolution within a broad historical and scientific context, offering an in-depth exploration of where humans originated, who our ancestors were, and the path that lies ahead in terms of human evolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Rethink how evolution guides society, politics, and beliefs. This book argues that progress comes from balancing specialization with cooperation, not from denying human limits.

This examination ties together evolution, democracy, education, and religion to show how societies can grow wiser without losing freedom. It invites readers to consider how false ideals of liberty, the problems of overspecialization, and the need for social cooperation shape our world today.

How democracy and specialization interact in modern life
Why cooperation matters as populations grow larger
The role of education and reform in building a fair society
The idea of a science‑informed, ethically grounded religion of evolution

Ideal for readers of history, science, and social thought who want a clear, dated perspective on how evolutionary ideas relate to democracy and religion.
