This book explores cultural evolution and the meaning of the word 'natural'.

We are at the crossroads of a major transformation. Why is our current time so important in the history of man? We are at a point where we may be the last generation that is not partially or fully bionic. The last natural man: natural in what way? What is “natural”? Is it a catch phrase like “integrative” or “holistic” that transmits a certain magical warm glow? If the word “natural” was a plant, it would be beautiful, green, luxuriant, and edible.Does it mean we are the last to not replace or modify our parts? What about laser surgery? Knee or hip replacement? Botox and fillers? Chemical therapy? Or a directional chip in the brain?Do we really mean the very last natural man? Cultural evolution has been the major driving force over the last several thousand years and enormous in its influence compared to almost invisible changes in our physical adaptations. If cultural and religious evolution was the driver for human history, are we now entering the phase of physical transformation – where humanity refuses to accept mortality and seeks to make changes to defeat nature.

In this book the authors are describing a paradigm shift of all of humanity―just as hunter-gatherers had their stellar features, the future man will have many attractive qualities, even if many artificial. We are often balancing on the precipice between science and science fiction, now ready to tip the scales and slide comfortably into the future of great discoveries and wonderful changes. But are these changes all for the good? What will being human mean?

"A lively, superbly informed, compassionate conversation between two accomplished physician-writers about the human past and the human future, carefully grounded in the sciences of medicine and evolution. If you care about who we are and what may save us from ourselves, read this enormously informative and entertaining book." Melvin Konner, MD, PhD, author of The Tangled Wing: Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit and Women After All: Sex, Evolution, and the End of Male Supremacy

这本书探讨了文化进化以及“自然”一词的意义。 我们正处于一场重大变革的十字路口。为什么我们现在这个时代在人类历史上如此重要？我们可能即将成为最后一代既不是部分也不是完全植入生物技术的人类。最后的自然人：什么是自然？什么是“自然”？它是像“整合”的或“整体”的那样，传递着某种魔幻温暖光环的口号吗？如果“自然”这个词是一株植物，它会是美丽的、绿色的、繁茂的并且可食用的。这意味着我们可能是最后一个不需要替换或修改自身部位的人类？激光手术？膝关节或髋关节置换？肉毒素和填充物？化学疗法？还是大脑中的定向芯片？我们现在真的就是最后一代自然人吗？文化进化在过去几千年以来一直是最主要的推动力量，并且在影响力上远超几乎看不见的我们在物理适应方面的变化。如果文化和宗教进化是人类历史的主要驱动力，那么我们现在是否已经进入了身体转变的阶段——在这个阶段中，人类拒绝接受死亡，并寻求做出改变以战胜自然？ 在这本书中，作者描述了整个人类范式转移——就像猎人采集者具有耀眼特点一样，未来的男人会有许多吸引人的品质，即使他很大一部分是人工制造的。我们经常处于科学与科幻之间摇摆不定的位置，现在准备好翻转天平，并舒适地滑向伟大的发现和美妙变化的未来。但是这些变化都是为了好的？人类意味着什么？ “两个杰出医生作家就人类过去和未来之间的生动而睿智的对话。这本书基于医学和进化的科学知识。如果你关心我们是谁以及如何拯救自己，阅读这本既信息量又娱乐性强的书籍。”梅尔文·孔纳博士，《生翼：生物限制下的人性与女性》及《所有女性都重要：性、进化与男性霸权终结》作者
