How Did Sapiens Really Come into Being in Eurasia and Where Is It Heading Right Now?

Abstract

Generations of archaeologists, ethnologists and now also genetic researchers are investigating the question: What makes Eurasia a unique evolutionary territory? We must recognise that mental evolution as a Eurasian unifying anthropological force is even more important than biological evolution. We can no longer ignore the fact that the number of people in Eurasia has increased tenfold over the past 200 years, i.e. since the French Revolution. Homo sapiens is on the way to becoming homo billionis, the creature that emotionally fits into a herd and seems to feel safer there the larger this herd is. This process proceeds on the entire planet, but in Eurasia it is the most obvious. Whether sapiens or billionis, there is no question that human must change if he wants to survive in Eurasia with resources getting scarcer and population higher, given his development in the recent past. To do so, however, at least in Eurasia human would have to control himself rationally and set hard limits to his cultural, mental and social drives and dreams, instead of relying on collective control and correction of the nature of Eurasia that he has supposedly subjugated.
