Ascent of Man I

Humans are unique among the animals. Why did man succeed in the evolutionary contest, to arrive at the top of the food chain, uncontested? And what further evolutionary tricks may propel humans to the next level, of incomparably greater intelligence, longer lifespan, and deeper wisdom?

Nothing is guaranteed. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Existential risks are many and varied. Humans as they are could never survive for much longer.

We must understand who we are, and what we must become to evolve into who we can be.
