Book Description
Author Jeremy Griffith's first book that introduces the reader to the issue of the human condition and his biological explanation of it. It describes how the anger and selfishness felt by humans is the result of a conflict between two factions within ourselves - the gene-based instinctive self struggling against the nerve-based intellect's need and responsibility to understand existence. The conflict caused humans to live with an undeserved sense of guilt that understanding now ameliorates.
Griffith has written two other books, his second in 1991 'Beyond The Human Condition' and his third in 2003 'A Species In Denial', which has become a bestseller in Australia and New Zealand. Both books are also available on Amazon.com.
About the Author
Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith was raised on a sheep station in NSW, Australia, educated at the prestigious Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia and later graduated in biology from Sydney University.
He spent six years in the wilds of Tasmania where he undertook the most thorough investigation ever into the plight of the Tasmanian Tiger. During this time, aged 27, Jeremy shifted his exploratory focus to humanity, which has stayed his life objective for the last 30 years.
Jeremy is a Director of the Foundation for Humanity's Adulthood (FHA), a non-profit organisation committed to promoting this new frontier of thinking. World renowned mountaineer and twice honoured Order of Australia recipient Tim Macartney-Snape, who wrote a chapter in A Species In Denial on the FHA, is also a Director.
