Just read a great book well worth buying. “Sapiens” provides a new, groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution that explores the ways in which biology, technology, and history have defined us, civilization, and our understanding of what it means to be “human.” See Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Excellent chapters on the evolution and importance of Money, Capitalism, Religion, and Imperialism - culminating in the end of Homo Sapiens and alternative futures. The key question he raises, “What do we want to become.” See related Summerton Blog on “Redefining Our Purpose as Civilization Keeps Evolving.”
