About this ebook

Why are some individuals relatively more successful than others in achievement? And why are some countries (or regions), for that matter, relatively more successful than others in development?

Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many, Dr. Baofu argues that the nature-nurture debate is misleading and faulty, since his “transcendent approach” is to show how and why the two are closely intertwined in producing the behavioral differences as often seen in individual human endeavors on the micro scale, and for that matter, in country (or regional) endeavors on the macro one—without, however, committing “the compromise fallacy” as often seen in an in-between alternative.

The debate also obscures something more tremendous in the long run, in relation to the emergence of what Dr. Baofu originally proposed as the “post-human” world that humans have never known, when human genes will no longer exist. Human genes have their days numbered.

Eh, this book is all over the place. Kind of sad to think the guy has a PhD rofl. I'm all for overthrowing commonly held beliefs and defying the norm, which I had expected from the book, but it's set up in a stylistically bizarre fashion and seemingly sets its aims at convincing us of the greatness in picturing a world without humans. Whoopdy-doo. Not sure why anyone needs a PhD for this, this book was pointless. It deserves one star but I've given it two for effort.
