3.5 The Clue to Evolution
Last modified 04/23/2008

Let us interject here a reminder of what we proposed at the beginning, a
recalibration of our views on (human) evolution in light of the Axial
phenomenon, and the eonic effect. Even as we propose to do this, we should note
that the rapid crystallization of evolutionary thought around Darwinism
constitutes one of the liabilities of the post-transitional realization of the
modern transition. We have already found the elements for a new way to braid our
notions of history and evolution, and these will allow us to both fulfill and
transcend the idea of a science of history, hence of human evolution. The eonic
model offers an especially ingenious way to reconcile the apparent contradiction
in its application of the idea of two levels in the evolutionary emergence of
man and civilization, macro and micro.
