On the doorstep of an apocalypse of our own making, a revisioning of human's presumed role as crown of creation and pinnacle of evolution is not just warranted but required. We are the prodigal daughters and sons of Nature and the Divine, no doubt about it. Prodigal Human reveals exactly that twistedness and how we can get back what we lost.This retreat from harmony with Nature, along with an incisive exposition of the resulting state of falleness, as it built up over time, is detailed in this book. The devolution involved in our, so-called, evolution is explained as to how it began, all the way back with bipedalism; how it proceeded-in a step-by-step process of descent occurring over the course of millions of years, including the emergence of birth trauma, the agrarian revolution, hierarchical societies, classism, child use and abuse, the oppression of women and rise of patriarchy, and the diminishment of self and feeling; and how it gradually coalesced into what we call human ... into what we mistakenly think is our human nature. In Prodigal Human, we see how we came to be estranged and discover that state to be one less than what we are potentially: We are prodigal or fallen ... therefore we do not have to be. This book uncovers the dark side of civilization and, by contrast, reveals the bright side of human potential, within Nature. The prodigal human will be welcomed back into the fold of Nature, if and when we have finally had enough and decide to make the journey home. In Prodigal Human, we learn exactly how what we left behind could be again embraced and how that redeems us as a species and liberates us as individual humans.
