My niece, who by the way is wickedly intelligent and artistic, recently pointed something out to me that I’d never thought of before. Her observation of humanity is that we are nothing more than a huge evolutionary experiment. Not only that, but this experiment is running amuck and that is what is getting us in trouble.  

The challenge for humanity is that we retain many instincts from our early years on this planet when we were still living in caves.  These early instincts served us well and in many ways guaranteed our very survival. But our present challenge is that these very instincts could now be our downfall.  

If you want to know the whole story, then listen to this episode which is call Can We Change Human Instincts? 

Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
