It’s all very interesting. But what to choose?<\/p>\n
So, I had to think commercially. What is the most straightforward subject to find a publisher for? Exactly! So, a book about sex. But actually, it didn’t become a book about sex at all, but a book about how we have been formed by sex and evolution, about how the history of sex has shaped our bodies and our brains. The working title for a long time was: „What sexuality made of Us“. (What do you think of when you see the two harmless pears?)<\/p>\n

I have done much research and writing: The role of sexuality in history and society. What about patriarchy is evolutionary, and what is cultural? How can knowledge of our evolutionary past strengthen feminism? What can we learn from matriarchal peoples and bonobos?<\/p>\n
In progress: Mind and spirit are also just matter. The emergence of construction types and the ontology of mind – Life, mind, culture, and technology as a thermodynamic special case.<\/p>\n
\n- Mind is matter: deriving the concepts of data, information, and information processing from thermodynamics and physics.<\/li>\n
- The evolution of information in culture. The evolution of jokes, fashions, views, structures, and societies.<\/li>\n
- Emergences – the emergence of higher complex forms of matter and culture by self-organization. The evolution of matter starting from the Big Bang over the evolution of dust fluff and life up to ant states and human hordes.<\/li>\n
- How art, humor, and language came into being. How evolution created our cultural brain.<\/li>\n
- What is society? What drives the changes in society and culture?
