God's Evolution [Paperback]

Leopold Boeckl (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2, 2007

Our civilization is the product of the human animal astoundingly domesticating ourselves. How did this process of domestication occur and what were the historical drivers which propelled humanity to achieve the relative uniformity we see today? God's Evolution answers these questions through the construction of a model documenting our domestication cycles. Human domestication was and is directly tied to the development of technologies which drove the three distinct economic eras humanity has passed through. The creation of new technologies then gave rise to new problems which humanity addressed through a very unique problem solving process in creating worldview. The author proposes the adoption in a new standard model for human history because of how well this model functions in addressing our past. The history is presented in a succinct manner to elaborate and illustrate the model fully. Though the model is illustrated via a Spartan construct, the issues it addresses are anything but.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh and novel look at ancient and current man's development, March 14, 2008

This review is from: God's Evolution (Paperback)

Boeckl has created a new twist on man's evolution looking at the three major "Domestication Cyles" of our past. His knowlege of history is encylopedic and intuitive and the reader sees insightful interpretations of otherwise standardized ways of viewing man's crawl from caves to computer chips. His synopsis and fresh view of the biblical eras are worth the read alone.

Although the book doesn't explicitly predict the future, one can only assume that that is the next publication from this new author. If not a prediction, at least a suggestion. The writing style is fast paced and is designed for those wanting a quick (150 page), efficient and "no holds barred" presentation of the author's views.

This presentation, coupled with current transcendental thinking by the likes of Wilber, Beck and Roshi sets the stage for man's next domestication cycle/development. A worthy addition to the thinking man's library.
