​
Meet the forest people, descendants of a strange monkey that chose to live on the forest floor rather than in the trees. In the voice of folktale, the young reader will begin to address major landmarks in philosophy. This illustrated epic is an alternative first man/woman story in the category of magical realism. The notion of a "fall from grace" is replaced with a more realistic view: that conflict over resources will lead to violent behavior in any animal species which will then have to spread into new geographic regions. This uplifting narrative features the positive Transhumanist message that God has been a partner with mankind in a journey to become more than it was before with each passing generation.
Major Landmarks in Myth
Lavishly illustrated, with full color plates or inset graphics on almost every page. Walk into the pages and experience the world as the forest people did in the aeon delivered by the text.
Share this story with your youngster that has begun to ask those tough, "big" questions to make the conversation easier. This book is especially helpful if your household doesn't follow a particular religion but still values moral philosophy. The narrative relies upon animism, the oldest religious position found in the underpinnings of all such writings.

While anthropologists continue to debate the specific locations, we know that our ancestors sought out geographic areas that were rich in the resources they used for survival and the production of culture. This work of realistic fiction depicts the "Transmutation of Species" hypothesis which preceded the work of Charles Darwin. It contains the core tenet of Transhumanist spirituality: that we are being met in an ongoing journey in which mankind is constantly becoming greater than it was before by advancing technologies and enriching culture.

Expanded edition and reader on the way for use in creating a full unit!
While the specific philosophy represented is Transhumanist, the materials are a synthesis of folklore drawn from many lands. To the best of the recollection of the author, this is the narrative given to her while in infancy - the genuine handed-down wisdom of her ancestors. As this material included philosophical positions stemming from European, American Folk, Daoist and Hindu sources this work has been created as generally appropriate to young readers of any heritage and especially in the United States of America.
