book was intended to provide a scientific explanation for the
diversity of life in general, and the origin of modern humans
specifically. In one of the great ironies of the modern world,
since Darwin's time, the very science that was expected to
strengthen and support his theory has done just the opposite.
The most recent discoveries are revealing facts that fly in the
face of long-standing scientific tradition. Among these facts
are the following:
Fact 1: Nature is based upon cooperation and mutual aid,
and not the competition, struggle, and "survival of the
strongest" that Darwin proposed in his 1859 theory.
Fact 2: The relationships shown on the conventional human
tree of evolution are not based on physical evidence.
While these links are believed to exist by some scientists,
they've never been proven and are inferred or speculative
relationships.
Fact 3: The lack of common DNA between ancient
Neanderthals and modern humans tells us that we shared the
earth with, and did not descend from, the Neanderthals.
THE NEW HUMAN STORY
These facts and a host of others, which are based upon peer-
reviewed science, clearly do not support the conventional
narrative of the past that we've been taught. It's for these
reasons that we need a new story to accommodate the new
evidence. Or conversely, we need to follow the evidence we
already have to the new story that it tells. The key is that we
must first think differently about ourselves in order to accept
what the story reveals.
Do we believe we're worth the work it takes to embrace the
extraordinary potential that lies waiting within each and every
human being? We won't need to wait long to know how we've
answered. We'll know by the world we leave for our children.
