About this ebook
In " The Evolution Gap: A Survival Guide for Modern Civilization" , author Eric Edmeades delves into one of the most pressing conundrums of our era: Why, in an age marked by unprecedented safety and security, are rates of stress, anxiety, addiction, and even suicide skyrocketing? To address this, Edmeades examines the widening chasm between our rapid technological and societal advancements and our slower genetic adaptation— a divide he coins as the " evolution gap." Edmeades posits that many of today's ailments, whether physical, psychological, or societal, can be traced back to or are exacerbated by this expanding gap. Yet, this book is not merely a diagnosis of our times. Drawing from his intimate interactions with hunter-gatherer tribes, a lifelong curiosity about human history and evolutionary biology, and his fascination with behavioral change psychology, Edmeades provides actionable solutions to bridge this divide. Born in South Africa and raised in Canada, Edmeades brings a unique global perspective, further enriched by his extensive travels and diverse experiences. These enlightening journeys have profoundly shaped his insights into our ancestral roots and their modern-day implications.
