Document Summary
There are seven species of great ape on the planet. The author believes in the world that we see and touch, the one we are born into. Humans would die without tools, clothes, fire, and shelter. can speak or hold onto a thought, our senses of sight, touch, taste, and smell drink in the material reality that lies all around us. Before we know it literally the world we are born into becomes internalized. This book insists that there was an actual moment when we became human. It was a moment long before we became intelligent in any modern sense. It was a moment seized by a female as, for the very first time, she turned to technology to protect her child. In that moment, everything that we were going to become was made not just possible but inevitable. even as we are struggling to be born. Our skulls are so large that we risk being stuck and dying.
