New Book: Descent of
Man Revisited |

The question of human origins remains as the great enigma
of evolutionary biology. The findings of current Darwinism have obscured the
issue with a reductionist dogmatism that has resulted in a truncated image of
man and his history. The greatest obstacle to advance is the illusion that the
problem has been solved. Biology has shown us the evolutionary emergence of man in deep time. But the onset of
Darwinism produced its classic debate that has orphaned the meaning of evolution with the claims for
Darwin's theory of natural selection. And yet this hypothesis, due to its
reductionist character, has simply compounded the puzzle of man. All questions
of consciousness, morality, and human freedom are dumbed down to a physicalism
that is inadequate to the task of explanation. If we examine Darwinism in practice we notice the failure to
properly document the incidents taken by assumption to fall under the sway of
natural selection. The limits of observation have been breached to produce an
evolutionary myth.
There
is an ironic resolution to the problem of observation, the study of world
history. The question of the emergence of man is bound up in the
question of civilization itself. And the facts of world history constitute a
falsification of Darwinism, showing us processes which won't fit into the dogmatic framework created by Darwinian biology. We
discover that until we can examine evolution at close range we are likely to be
misled by the microevolutionary constant of genetic evolution in the same. World
history shows us something very simple, and at the same time very complex: a
process of non-random evolution. This process shows its hand in what we can call
the 'eonic effect', a non-random pattern that simply won't reduce to the
assumption of randomness. We are driven to infer or detect some mysterious macro
aspect to world history itself. There is nothing complex about the eonic
effect:.

Civilizationn,
Darwinism, and Theories of Evolution |
| |
At a time when theories of evolution are under renewed
controversy, discussion is hampered by the remoteness of the
phenomenon of evolution, and the use of indirect inference to
speculate about deep time. Adherents of Darwinism often
defend dogmatic versions of the theory that have been questioned
since the first reviewers of Origin of Species.
Now Darwinism is under siege from the Intelligent Design
movement, threatening the school system. The attempt to
hijack the debate using long discredited arguments by design
tends to make Darwinists close ranks around their flawed
science. The debate is deadlocked by the rigidity of both
parties, evidence of fixed agendas, and metaphysical
presumptions. A new approach is needed. The study of history
itself holds the clue if we can find it.
We live in the first generations with enough historical data to
detect a pattern of Universal History. The discovery of this
pattern, the Eonic Effect, uncovers the evidence for a deep
structure resembling punctuated equilibrium in world history
itself. The study of history and evolution together shows us
something we had missed and allows us to infer the existence of
non-random evolution in the emergence of man. Darwinian theory
suffers from low evidence density. The Eonic Effect is the only
data we have at high evidence density of evolution as a process
in real time, and this transforms our views completely.
We see the real evolution of man as the Great Transition,
the human passage from evolution to history, in the chronicle of
the once and future Origin of the Species, Man.
