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.          The Fourth Edition     An Outline of History   The fourth edition of World History And The Eonic Effect simplifies the considerable amount of historical theory present in earlier versions. This dose of theory made the eonic effect seem a speculative construct, when the object of the exercise is to approach the question of evolution empirically. This theory, the so-called 'eonic model', has been streamlined so that the main emphasis in the text is on a simple outline of world history. As we explore this outline the contours of the eonic effect stand out as an empirical given of historical evidence. The failure to grasp that world history itself shows us the solution to the evolution enigma is due to the ideological control exerted over the key incidents that show what is going on, such as the Axial Age. This evidence has been ignored or distorted and fails to register with students of standard histories. The dogma that world history follows some kind of Darwinian logic is hopelessly flawed, and the evidence points directly to a hidden process of macroevolution behind the sequence of events. In fact world history shows an elegant unity in diversity, and a logical dynamics that stands out once we apply a consistent strategy of periodization.
