The Birth of Homo, the Marine Chimpanzee : When the tool becomes the master, Paperback / softback Book

The Birth of Homo, the Marine Chimpanzee : When the tool becomes the master Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Drawing on a diversity of fast-developing disciplines including genetics, physiology, pathology as well as the history of canoeing and studies of the fluctuation of sea levels, revolutionary thinker and birth pioneer Michel Odent examines the case for viewing the genus Homo as a 'marine chimpanzee' - particularly adapted to coastal areas.

By exploring the practical implications of this vision of our species, including in the period surrounding birth, the author raises questions about the very survival of humanity.

At a time in history when human domination of Nature is more profound than ever before, are we on the cusp of a 'symbiotic revolution'?With his characteristic ability to look at the 'big picture' and ask questions that challenge conventional thinking, Michel Odent once again manages to persuade readers to view themselves, and their species, in a new light.
