EVOLUTION AND HUMAN DESTINY 



psychologically, an unduly severe blow to the individ- 

 ual human ego to have to accept oneself as an integral 

 component of an organism in the process of formation. 

 The sense of human aloneness and the feeling of isola- 

 tion from our fellow man, which is so prevalent 

 particularly in intellectually inclined people, in present 

 day American society might on first analysis tend to 

 contradict the theory. Yet, is not the very existence of 

 these feelings perhaps an indication of a psychological 

 need for the integration? In any event, personal mis- 

 givings should certainly not bias one's investigation of 

 a radically new point of view. 



Let us not forget that human society right now is 

 very much in transition and all of us are very subjec- 

 tively involved in the entire process. It is therefore 

 essential that one exercise uncommon rationality and 

 exclude emotional bias as far as is possible, in order to 

 grasp the full significance of the process responsible 

 for the formation and the present transformation of 

 human society. 



It appears probable that the recognition of the bio- 

 social nature of the forming human societal organism, 

 will add conscious direction to unconscious pattern 

 and consequently accelerate the process.
