About
Recent scientific findings and research in the study of human origins and our biology, paleoanthropology, and primate research have reached a key threshold: we are increasingly able to trace the outlines and fill in the blanks of our evolutionary story that began 7 million years ago to the present, and understand the social and cultural processes that produced the world we live in now.
We are at an early moment in the education process—the recent science and research have not percolated into popular consciousness, or found application in centers of social influence. Our goal is to offer an accessible synthesis of these findings, and advance this material as a staple of education at all stages of life.
