This Big History book contains a short description of human nature, human worth, and human civilization, including the origins and current ways of society, government, business, and religion. What is the same about every human being? Whenever a person is thinking, doing, or talking, that action involves love and children, spouse, family and friends, or community and justice-and little else. That is all there is to a human being, anywhere on the planet, and throughout the 200,000 years of our species. If people raised their hand while thinking of these things, then throughout every day, nearly every person on the planet would have their hand raised. These concerns are innate to our species because we are parenting mammals and social primates. Parenting mammals have existed for 200 million years. Parenting love is millions of years old.Each species of mammals has a social hierarchy, headed by one individual, for example, the alpha wolf. For us apes and monkeys, our hierarchy is not based on the individual but on the extended family. A primate group does not have an alpha male, it has an alpha family. That is why we care first for our extended family members and cooperate as a unit.Why are we a social species? For the surprisingly simple reason that the food of primates occurs in group-sized bundles, so they search for food as a group and then share it when it is found. The group also watches for predators. This is a mutually beneficial exchange of assistance. Our primate ancestors did this for twenty million years. It is in our genes to exchange assistance on any task that is larger than an individual can do alone.Our basic emotions are happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, surprise, anger, sympathy, pride, embarrassment, guilt, and shame. Some of these emotions occur only in social situations. This small set of emotions developed millions of years ago as they proved to be the best response to situations that continually occurred through thousands of generations. Our emotions are millions of years old, and they are innate-not learned. We are born with these emotions. For example, you get angry only when you feel that you have been wronged. Every human being that has ever lived shares these feelings and emotions.The DNA of a person has about 20,000 genes. About half of our genes produce cells, about half produces arms and legs and livers and such, and about 2% makes us human. Only thirty genes determine our outer appearance, including the shape of our nose, ears, lips, cheeks, jaw, hair color, and skin tone and such. Two human beings share 99.9% of their genes and so are only 0.1% genetically different. This is true whether or not those two individuals come from the same hometown or come from opposite sides of the Earth, and whether or not they are of the same race. Two siblings differ by half of that 0.1%. This also means that a stranger from the other side of the planet is only twice as different from you as is your sibling. Gathering five persons from throughout the planet produces little-more variety than gathering five siblings.We human beings are a bunch of genetic clones-with a range of personalities. We share identical feelings, needs, and desires. How do we differ? Only in cultural details, such as the way that we greet others, celebrate births and weddings, and make food and such. As we grow, we learn our local culture with fierce conviction. Culture consists of our recipes for how to do everything in life, and it involves some 40,000 details that fit in the brain of each person (so we are all very smart).What is the same about each of the world's religions? The Golden Rule is the single most-crucial point of each of them. Onto this is tacked thousands of cultural details. We'll see how when and why did religion expand from nature deities to moral instruction. We'll see how everyday life changed as we switched from being gatherer-hunters to village farmers and then to factory workers.

Shupe's book goes beyond self-help. It reveals how our emotional connections to one another have been severed, by our dependence on legal systems. Shupe reminds us that humans once lived in a state of contentment, because they depended on each other to survive. But our current dependence on legal systems has deprived us of our greatest need--to love and to be loved by our fellow man. Shupe's book informs us of something modern people fail to grasp: We humans do have an inborn wisdom, endowed by evolution. It is essential to our happiness, and to the wellbeing of life, that we be true to this inborn map of life. Humans created civilization, because we thought life would be better if everyone complied with sovereign laws. In terms of material benefits, civilization has succeeded. But depending on laws--not emotional intelligence--to maintain order, has so socially isolated us that reality, as we experience it, is a spiritual wasteland. Unable to emotionally engage in our surroundings, we have no access to the wisdom of human nature, which reveals itself exclusively through feelings in response to one's immediate circumstances. The result of this spiritual alienation is pain. To manage it, we modern humans space ourselves out on beliefs, ideologies, drugs, hope, dreams--and even the promise of science. When those fail to quell the pain, people turn to suicide--the only option left. Shupe's answer is to return to the natural spiritual homes in which Homo sapiens once thrived. But people cannot establish a spiritual home, merely by design or intent. Spiritual homes will eventually form naturally: When enough people become disillusioned with the promises of modern life, they will acquire a new perspective on what life is about. Among spiritually awakened people, a real home is organic. Indeed, for humans to experience a natural sense of emotional and material comfort, a spiritual home--one that is maintained by our emotional intelligence--is the only option that exists.

Although human beings are technically part of the ecosystem, there still remains a conceptual conflict between technology and nature. These concerns highlight the idea of human superiority in which the priority is given to technology versus living in synchronization with nature. Technology versus Ecology: Human Superiority and the Ongoing Conflict with Nature explores the issues revolving around the conflict between technology versus human beings, the concern for the separation of human beings in the ecosystem, and the negative consequences that may follow as ecosystems are being damaged. This book is a significant reference source for researchers, instructors, and students interested in the constant evolution of technology and ecology.

'Judge a man by his questions, rather than by his answers.' Voltaire Voltaire was one of the first philosophers to be commercially successful internationally. Famous for his strong views on the importance of civil liberties, he was equally renowned for his wit. A prolific letter writer, he was also the author of over 2,000 books and pamphlets, including the novel Candide, which criticises and ridicules many of the events and philosophies of the time. It is widely recognised as one of the most glorious satires of the 18th century. John Gray's short account is the ideal introduction to one of the great thinkers of all time.
