Human Primates

established 1/10/2008 4:23 pm | updated 1/10/2008 4:23 pm

This group is for people interested in exploring the primate nature of human beings. There is increasing attention by researchers to demonstrating the cultural and individual similarities between humans and chimpanzees, as well as other primates. Does this begin to explain how important our unconscious minds are to the individual and collective decisions we all make?

Will a better understanding of our real human nature (apart from the myths of divinity and intellectual mastery) help us to create greater cultural values to offset our tendency to ignore matters like war and global warming until it is too late to prevent them?


GROUP MESSAGES:

Check out the following items on Ode: www.odemagazine.com/doc/43/native_intelligence, where Kim Ridley writes about the presence of intelligence throughout our natural world, and how the insight of the Shaman can be shared with the insights of science.

And my introduction to "Divine Primates" in "The Exchange" section of the Ode website: www.odemagazine.com/exchange/306/integrating_a_new_awareness_of_human_nature

Marco Visscher also wrote about aboriginal knowledge at: www.odemagazine.com/doc/31/the_romance_of_aboriginal_knowledge

Is there a pattern here? Is there growing interest in how our ancient roots can help us understand what it means to be human - in a way that modern religions and science can't?

Peace,

Earon
