Being a Human

Charles Foster's "Being a Human" is a unique exploration of human consciousness across 40,000 years.

Foster imaginatively inhabits three pivotal moments: the Upper Paleolithic, the Neolithic, and the Enlightenment.

He examines how human consciousness evolved, changed, and the impact of these shifts on our relationship with the natural world and ourselves.

The book blends scientific inquiry with personal experience, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to be human.

Foster's narrative challenges conventional views of progress and encourages a deeper understanding of our place in the world.

Ultimately, the book advocates for a more empathetic and interconnected approach to life.
