A unique new perspective on human evolution.
The manuscript Natural Insurrection: The Predatory Legacy of Man lay untouched in a dusty cabinet for more than a decade. Written on location, overlooking the hills and valleys of the Cradle of Mankind, this investigation into Man’s predatory evolution was eventually reworked and made available for publication.
Predatory delinquency, the phenomenon of preying on one’s ‘own kind’ laid the foundation for Man’s predatory transition.
Cannibalism was not merely an occurrence in human evolution; it was once a practice that extended over hundreds of thousands of years.
Man’s bipedal stance, manual dexterity and mental prowess reflect the adaptations of a carnivorous anthropoid.
This is a well-researched and revolutionary approach to the development of humankind. Like many other creatures, Mankind has undergone the transformation from herbivore to fully fledged predator. Hunting tree-dwelling primates most likely initiated the process, but it is against fellow bipeds that Man sharpened his wits. The butchered remains of Homo, spanning a million years, bear testimony to this.

“The image of ‘potential predators sharpening their teeth within their own ecological niche’ is fresh and vivid, and I like your argument.” – Dr Lyall Watson, September 2004
