The Purpose of Man. From the Book of Genesis to the Origin of Species

The Purpose of Man. From the Book of Genesis to the Origin of Species

Have you ever wondered why, out of all living beings, our species has managed to populate the entire Earth and literally dominate it? Did this happen due to human egoism or, on the contrary, altruism up to self-sacrifice? Was there... an invisible force guiding the history of our development, or is it all just an incredible series of coincidences? And what, in that case, is the meaning of our lives? Discrediting common misconceptions and bringing together data from various disciplines (evolutionary biology, psychology, sociology), Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University Samuel Wilkinson not only answers these and many other questions but also puts forward a sensational hypothesis: the very evolution of humanity may testify to the existence of a Higher Power guiding the Universe. And therefore, to the existence of a special purpose for man.
