A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life - https://www.amazon.ca/Hunter-Gatherers-Guide-21st-Century-Challenges/dp/0593086880/

...our world is hyper-novel. ...humans are extraordinarily well adapted to, and equipped for, change. But the rate of change itself is so rapid now that our brains, bodies, and social systems are perpetually out of sync.

The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society that is changing faster than we can accommodate is turning us into people who cannot fend for ourselves.

Simply put, it’s killing us.

This is a book not only about how our species is in danger of destroying our world.

...humans are excellent at responding to change and adapting to the unknown. We are explorers and innovators by design, and the same impulses that have created our troublesome modern condition are the only hope for saving it.
