The Unfinished Species
How Intelligence Learned to Redesign Its Own Substrate
By Mayone Maha Rajan
Evolution may be passing from blind natural selection, through the accidental pressures of modernity, toward an era in which intelligence can read and deliberately redesign the conditions that shape it.
This book follows that proposition from evolutionary biology and mismatch through learning, epigenetics, artificial intelligence, and the ethics of self-design. It argues for responsibility over nostalgia, and for human dignity without biological determinism.
