Why are Homo sapiens a suicidal species?

Why do people bring innocent children into this violent, overpopulated world? Why do people ignore the mounting evidence of environmental collapse? Why is humanity courting its own extinction?

In addressing these questions, Field Guide to a New Species

identifies two species of human—Homo sapiens, which have been around for the last seventy thousand years or so, and Homo veritas, which are just evolving into being. The guide also explores two intermediate types, Rebels and Seekers, thus delineating four categories of human beings, each in its own place on the evolutionary path to consciousness.

The guide investigates how trauma and truth affect the behavior, attitudes, and sustainability of each—and, in so doing, provides the reader a self-reflective tool for personal evolution.
