This book is a provocative and invigorating real-time exploration of the future of human
evolution by two of the world's leading interdisciplinary ecologists - Michael Charles Tobias
and Jane Gray Morrison. Steeped in a rich multitude of the sciences and humanities the book
enshrines an elegant narrative that is highly empathetic personal scientifically wide-ranging
and original. It focuses on the geo-positioning of the human Self and its corresponding
species. The book's overarching viewpoints and poignant through-story examine and powerfully
challenge concepts associated historically with assertions of human superiority over all other
life forms. Ultimately The Hypothetical Species: Variables of Human Evolution is a deeply
considered treatise on the ecological and psychological state of humanity and her options -
both within and outside the rubrics of evolutionary research - for survival. This important
work is beautifully presented with nearly 200 diverse illustrations and is introduced with a
foreword by famed paleobiologist Dr. Melanie DeVore.
