The Dynamic Human

Maciej Henneberg, Arthur Saniotis

Sinopsis

The natural world can be viewed as a continuously changing complex system comprising variable units that do not conform to any stable plan. Within this framework, human evolution is not the story of the past that created Homo sapiens and then handed this account over to written history. It is the ongoing process that shapes us now and will shape us in the future, body and mind. We must understand it in order to survive and be able to direct it to our advantage. The Dynamic Human presents a general theory of how humans function as a multi-individual system embedded in the natural world. The authors employ a unified approach of systems theory to outline forces that direct ongoing human evolution and produce its outcomes in terms of the past, present and future. Readers will find a perspective on the human place in nature, through a brief account of the past human evolution over 10 million years ago, a discussion of the earliest appearance of humans some 2 million years ago, and a description of the mechanisms of the changes in the gene pool of humans from generation-to-generation. Understanding the forces involved in these mechanisms (physical and mental growth and development) may allow us to understand human evolution better. The Dynamic Human presents a simplified perspective on human evolution for all readers interested in a discourse on the origins, nature and future of human beings.

Beginners Guide To Visualisation

Book Cave

Visualization is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. At its core, visualization taps into the brain's ability to process imagery in a way that can lead to tangible changes in our lives. When we visualize, we engage not just our imagination but also activate neural pathways that enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their mental health, boost their self-esteem, or navigate challenging situations in life.
