For those interested in developing a skill in modulating awareness to engender embodied, exuberantly healthy, agile, present centered, big picture awareness in the service of all humanity and the habitability of our planet in this time of unprecedented human crisis, this talk shines a magnificent light of awareness on some of humanity's most problematic mysteries. The insights will awaken and transform your awareness. Thank you!
I thought so too, but then history records have been read and deciphered prior to fossil study, so when fossils were seen for what they were, I am sure someone must have presented them as "Natures own chronicle of its past histories" ..so the line felt on 2nd reading redundant like a pleonasm
The bit around 39:00 is very fascinating, looking at sacred texts as a cultural gene whose components can be selected for depending upon the necessity of the environment. Quite fascinating.
Wilson approaches religion with great care and utmost respect.
Such a much, much better approach to religion than Richard Dawkin's perspective.
I love David Sloan Wilson, thanks for sharing.
