Anthropology has so far failed to solve the riddle of human evolution. Existing models are unable to account for the scope of the differences that distinguish humans from other animals. We know that we evolved, but we don't yet understand how we evolved to become a creature so different from every other animal. In Beyond Biology, author Matthew Hallinan argues that we are not just another kind of animal, we are a different kind of life-form, one that has evolved beyond the framework of biology. We are an intelligent life-form that has not yet figured out what it is and how it fits into the development of the natural world. As a result, humanity is at war with the natural world. He believes we need a new narrative - one that can help us to change the way we think about both nature and ourselves.
