Being a Human

In Being a Human, Charles Foster embarks on an imaginative exploration of human consciousness by immersing himself in three key periods of our evolution: the Upper Paleolithic era, the Neolithic period, and the Enlightenment. Drawing from diverse fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and natural history, he seeks to understand what it means to be human, reflecting on our origins, development, and future. This thought-provoking journey offers a nuanced perspective on our connection to nature and ourselves, inspiring consideration of how we might thrive on Earth.
