Description
Charles Foster explores the evolution of human consciousness through three pivotal moments in history. By examining the lives of our ancient ancestors, he seeks to understand what makes us human.
From the Upper Paleolithic era, where early humans lived as hunter-gatherers in rural England, to the Neolithic period, where they settled and domesticated plants and animals, Foster sheds light on the key events that shaped our species. He also reflects on the Enlightenment, a time when humans began to question their place in the world, and how this led to a loss of connection with nature.
This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be human, and invites readers to consider the significance of our place in the world.
