Book Reviews of Nature and Madness
Book Review: Most important work since Darwin
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of several brilliant books that Paul Shepard has written which compels the careful reader to strongly reconsider how that last 10,000 years of cultural and behavioral change have impacted an otherwise healthy human psychological unfolding (ontogeny). For most people, some basic math is a requisite to appreciating the profound insights of this book. Humans in their modern physical form lived as hunters and gatherers in nomadic tribal groups for 190,000 years, then began farming, settling down, and dramatically altering the normal ontogeny just in the last 10,000 years. The last 5% of our history should never be appraised without consideration of the other 95%, something which this author understands. Shepard writing combines a scholarly erudition with a poetic and mythic literary style. This guys rocks!
