This story, “The Meaning of Human Existence,” http://www.brucebyersconsulting.com/the-meaning-of-human-existence-a-continuing-conversation-with-e-o-wilson/ takes its title from the latest book by E.O. Wilson, the famous Harvard evolutionary biologist. It’s a combination of a book review, scientific memoir, and essay about evolution and human social behavior, and it leaps from the biology of intertidal anemones to religion and nuclear weapons. I admit it is ambitious in reaching for far-flung connections, but I fall back on the lines from Robert Browning, “Ah but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” that I parodied in a recent blog on the relationship between humans and dogs. I guess I’m reaching for a “heaven” where we humans understand the meaning of our own existence, and use it to guide us into our unknown future.

The Meaning of Human Existence: A Continuing Conversation with E.O.Wilson

New sections on “African Pastoral Ecology and Conflict” and “Spiritual Worldviews and Conservation” have been added to the Library on Bruce Byers Consulting website. Due to renewed interest in these topics, four old publications added to web Library: Under African Pastoral Ecology and Conflict is an old Christian Science Monitor op ed on “The Roots of Somalia’s Crisis” – unfortunately still completely relevant today! Also article on pastoral ecology and conflict in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. Under Spiritual Worldviews and Conservation are newly-added old pieces on Buddhism and ecology, plus my work on sacred forests and conservation in Zimbabwe.
