This book explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world
throughout evolutionary history, and the need to reorient this onto
a symbiotic basis. It integrates the themes of natural and
artificial selection, the characteristics of historic
‘revolutions’, and directed versus random change. Inspiring
community-based projects, mainly from the developing world, show
how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human livelihoods in a
positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane to
co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanity’s substantial
influence (the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the
natural processes shaping the former Holocene epoch.
