The Story of Humanity: Ecology & Consequence (Unabridged‪)‬

The Story of Humanity: Ecology & Consequence is the natural history of humanity from emergence to demise. It is a saga of misadventure from a remarkably adaptable creature. In thrall to technology and driven by greed, men wiped themselves out as fast as they could. More than mere chronicle, this is the story of why.

There are five chapters. “A Fateful Ape” traces the evolution of hominids and outlines the traits that made them distinct from their primate predecessors. “The Reign of Thought” explains how men's way of thinking created the outcomes which decided humanity’s destiny. “The Evolution of Civilization” chronicles trends and events that shaped humanity’s fate. “The Toll of Industry” tallies the tariff that enriched a few while wearing the world down. “An Inevitable End” culminates the human experience. Plutocratic capitalism showed itself to be an unsustainable regime. Political leaders knew that doom was impending, yet attempted no remedy. Cowardice at the top crumbled civilization and crafted an inevitable end.
