Evolution Ended

The Next Stage of American Society

De: J. J. Jerome

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Mankind is in the midst of an enormous transition…Human evolution has always been a function of our strength, our smarts, and our ability to attract a mate. But modern technologies are now so advanced that we no longer need any of these things to survive. Evolution Ended uses evolutionary theory and brain science to explain how everything from the decline of the nuclear family to political extremism results from society’s transition from survival of the fittest to dependence on technology. This fascinating book weaves history, science, and popular culture to explore how we arrived at our current state and the surprisingly hopeful biological, social, sexual, and political implications of an AI-powered world that is changing far faster than we can evolve.

If you like Yuval Noah Harari’s books, you will love Evolution Ended!

Reviews:

…Evolution Ended is a riveting read that encapsulates the socio-political, physical, and behavioral differences between humans of the 21st century and those of the past. Highly recommended. (5 Stars) – P. Deka for Readers’ Favorite

…Extremely well-written and authoritative, the book provides wide-ranging and detailed historical, scientific, economic, and cultural arguments to demonstrate how modern technology, cosmetic surgery, a lack of heroes and role models, and social media - among many other things - threaten to extinguish the fundamental practices that ensure society can move forward. (4.5 stars) – SPR Review

…With engrossing case studies and compelling data, Evolution Ended opens up a fascinating conversation about the state of American society and what the future may hold. – Book Review Directory

…Jerome makes a fascinating case for how technology is eliminating the dynamics that made us Homo Sapiens in the first place. He fuses science, history, philosophy, and popular culture in an entertaining and enlightening window into our predicament as modern humans. (5 Stars) – Michael Puttre’, author of Outre Mer

…Evolution Ended is an impassioned and insightful read (4 Stars) - Literary Titan

...The extensive detailing that goes into this book is stunning, and the numbers, the dates, and the data are neatly arranged for the reader to draw their conclusions. Using pop culture hits such as Game of Thrones to support his points is a masterstroke and his detailed analyses of the events leading up to and after the US Presidential elections is one of a kind. Evolution Ended is a must-read. The end of civilization as we know it may be much closer than we think. (5 stars) – A. Essien for Readers’ Favorite

…He is remarkably objective in positing the differences between America’s two main political parties and the advantages and drawbacks of both, as well as the positive and negative points of science, religion, and social media. - Barbara Bamberger Scott for Feathered Quill
