Evolution is driven by random mutations and natural selection. Mutations add variety to a species, and natural selection takes that variety, picks the best and gets rid of the rest, to adapt the species to its environment. We cannot predict where mutations strike, but if we know what they can potentially affect, and we know a species' environment, then we can attempt to predict where natural selection will go, and how a species might evolve.We know how the human species evolved over many millions of years, and that it evolved in an environment very different from where we are now. We live in urban areas, our ancestors did not. Medicine gives us a longer and healthier life than we had in our past. We are adapted to one environment, and we now have to adapt to a new one. Where will evolution take us over the next million years?

If aliens came to Earth 100 millions years in the future, what traces would they find of long-extinct humanity's brief reign on the planet? This engaging and thought-provoking account looks at what our species will leave behind, buried deep in the rock strata, and provides us with a warning of our devastating environmental impact.

“I have seen yesterday. I know tomorrow.” This inscription in Tutankhamun’s tomb summarizes The Fifth Beginning. Here, archaeologist Robert L. Kelly explains how the study of our cultural past can predict the future of humanity. In an eminently readable style, Kelly identifies four key pivot points in the six-million-year history of human development: the emergence of technology, culture, agriculture, and the state. In each example, the author examines the long-term processes that resulted in a definitive, no-turning-back change for the organization of society. Kelly then looks ahead, giving us evidence for what he calls a fifth beginning, one that started about AD 1500. Some might call it “globalization,” but the author places it in its larger context: a five-thousand-year arms race, capitalism’s global reach, and the cultural effects of a worldwide communication network. Kelly predicts that the emergent phenomena of this fifth beginning will include the end of war as a viable way to resolve disputes, the end of capitalism as we know it, the widespread shift toward world citizenship, and the rise of forms of cooperation that will end the near-sacred status of nation-states. It’s the end of life as we have known it. However, the author is cautiously optimistic: he dwells not on the coming chaos, but on humanity’s great potential.

A guide to long-term thinking: how to envision the far future of Earth. We live on a planet careening toward environmental collapse that will be largely brought about by our own actions. And yet we struggle to grasp the scale of the crisis, barely able to imagine the effects of climate change just ten years from now, let alone the multi-millennial timescales of Earth's past and future life span. In this book, Vincent Ialenti offers a guide for envisioning the planet's far future—to become, as he terms it, more skilled deep time reckoners. The challenge, he says, is to learn to inhabit a longer now. Ialenti takes on two overlapping crises: the Anthropocene, our current moment of human-caused environmental transformation; and the deflation of expertise—today's popular mockery and institutional erosion of expert authority. The second crisis, he argues, is worsening the effects of the first. Hearing out scientific experts who study a wider time span than a Facebook timeline is key to tackling our planet's emergency. Astrophysicists, geologists, historians, evolutionary biologists, climatologists, archaeologists, and others can teach us the art of long-termism. For a case study in long-term thinking, Ialenti turns to Finland's nuclear waste repository “Safety Case” experts. These scientists forecast far future glaciations, climate changes, earthquakes, and more, over the coming tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands or millions—of years. They are not pop culture “futurists” but data-driven, disciplined technical experts, using the power of patterns to construct detailed scenarios and quantitative models of the far future. This is the kind of time literacy we need if we are to survive the Anthropocene.

A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction of 2011 title A bold, far-reaching look at how our actions will decide the planet's future for millennia to come. Imagine a planet where North American and Eurasian navies are squaring off over shipping lanes through an acidified, ice-free Arctic. Centuries later, their northern descendants retreat southward as the recovering sea freezes over again. And later still, future nations plan how to avert an approaching Ice Age... by burning what remains of our fossil fuels. These are just a few of the events that are likely to befall Earth and human civilization in the next 100,000 years. And it will be the choices we make in this century that will affect that future more than those of any previous generation. We are living at the dawn of the Age of Humans; the only question is how long that age will last. Few of us have yet asked, "What happens after global warming?" Drawing upon the latest, groundbreaking works of a handful of climate visionaries, Curt Stager's Deep Future helps us look beyond 2100 a.d. to the next hundred millennia of life on Earth.

It is twenty million years in the future. Although a calamity long ago destroyed Earth, somehow archeologists have just unearthed a Moscow subway train full of passengers with their print media from 2022 perfectly preserved. Now the archeologists must answer a complex question: Did the Jupitorians annihilate the world as they have all been told by the Cobasta Aliens, or did the world self-destruct? While the archeologists travel to Mars and uncover more truths, another alien entity is planning to conquer the galaxy. They have one empire to crush before their despot leader can proclaim himself the emperor of over half of the Milky Way. Meanwhile Chirak, a robot living in a stolen human’s body, is on a determined mission to warn the Cobasta and others that they are being targeted for destruction. As a showdown begins, Chirak becomes entwined in intrigue and espionage as he transforms into one of the most advanced spies in the galaxy with a new mission to take down its menacing empire. In this gripping science fiction adventure set twenty million years in the future, archeologists and a humanoid robot work to uncover truths from 2022 in order to understand the current galaxy.

The book is a telepathic communication between myself and Dar, a evolved human from 23 million years in the future, as well as several other guides, spiritual and otherwise, from various future time periods. Although most of the contact is through Dar, several of his companions, from various timelines from a few centuries to over 1000 million years in the future have made some observations about various time periods. The book covers technology, spirit guides, singularities, timelines, evolution, time travel, parallel worlds, future cities and other realities. It also covers altered states of consciousness, the 2012 event, space travel, time lines, advanced data storage, power generation, future history and my notes. There is discussion in time and the nature of reality, as well as technological development and where it is leading us into the future. It is about possibilities, and I do not mean it to be either a positive or negative statement, but an observation of what is. I hope the book will encourage some people to objectively seek out alternative possibilities.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Unapologetically optimistic and bracingly realistic, this is the most inspiring book on ‘ethical living’ I’ve ever read.' Oliver Burkeman, Guardian ‘A monumental event.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind ‘A book of great daring, clarity, insight and imagination. To be simultaneously so realistic and so optimistic, and always so damn readable… well that is a miracle for which he should be greatly applauded.’ Stephen Fry In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill persuasively argues for longtermism, the idea that positively influencing the distant future is a moral priority of our time. It isn’t enough to mitigate climate change or avert the next pandemic. We can ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; cultivate value pluralism; and prepare for a planet where the most sophisticated beings are digital and not human. The challenges we face are enormous. But so is the influence we have.
