Swallow House Books CROMER OUT NOW

Stephen Houseman lived for his ideas. Nothing else in life really mattered to him. In The Origin Of Us he challenges, persistently and uncompromisingly, the unsatisfactory assumptions by which we currently live our lives. Humankind is crying out for fresh answers to the perennial problems of who and what we are and where we have come from. As a generalist writing for generalists, his aim is to show how human nature as we currently conceive it – or misconceive it – should be understood as part of an evolutionary continuum going back to the animals. Houseman argues that the currently dominant forces of Hierarchy and Personality have blinded us to the realisation that we are to be defined as pattern-seekers and eternal questioners. The Origin Of Us is short in length but wide in scope, and its ground-breaking conclusions might have profound implications for the whole of human thought. It's time, he argues, to move on.
