About this ebook
Ten Nodes of Symbolizing Humanity applies a scientific model of logarithmic time to human cultural evolution, charting how symbolic capacity unfolded in distinct, accelerating stages over the last 8 million years. Beginning with the first hominins and culminating near the rise of civilization, this work identifies ten major nodes of symbolic emergence—from habitual bipedalism and the earliest stone tools to abstract image-making and burial of the dead. Each node is supported by archaeological and paleontological evidence and interpreted through a framework of logarithmic halving, revealing a patterned pulse of cultural and cognitive breakthroughs. This study proposes that symbolic behavior evolved in tandem with biological change and was central to the human lineage. Bridging anthropology, evolutionary theory, and systems modeling, this work invites renewed scientific inquiry into the rhythmic structure of human evolution.
About the author
The author's work spans scientific inquiry, cultural history, and literary exploration. With degrees in philosophy and counseling psychology, he has taught courses in Indigenous studies, dream symbolism, and the evolution of human consciousness. He also co-founded a charter school that integrated the arts and sciences.
In this final volume of The Unfolding of Time series, he turns to the cultural dimension, tracing the rise of symbolic humanity through ten key nodes. From early cave art to modern scientific consciousness, this work applies the same logarithmic structure used in earlier volumes to map how symbolic capacity unfolded in pulses—shaped by generational time, collective memory, and world-shaping acts of meaning.
