  Amazon.ca: Man and Nature: The Spiritual Crisis in Modern Man: Books: Seyyed Hossein Nasr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Rather than being rooted in the unified outlook of traditional man along with his religious traditions, modern man sees the world through the eyes of a crass materialism, scientism, and positivism.
Here it is necessary to understand the limitations of science, particularly as they apply to its application, which is at the root of the ecological crisis in modern man. Next, Nasr turns to the historical roots of science in Greek and Christian philosophy and theology.
What is left is man at the center of the universe, who becomesthe object of unconditional worship, and to him is given the ritualsacrifice of nature.

 Harvard Gazette: Facing up to modern man
The change from the oblong skull and protruding face of ancient humans (right) to the modern rounder skull and retracted face is associated with a sharper bend in the floor of the brain case.
Modern humans differ from archaic humans in many respects, but anthropologists have been trying to define our species, Homo sapiens, based on the features of their skulls alone.
The temporal lobes sit right where the cranial base of modern humans bends downward, so it makes sense to think that a growing brain is responsible for this and other shifts in the brain case.

The modern progeny of these evolutionary viewpoints is the Out of Africa II model that was first coherently argued in 1975 by Protsch von Zieten (Protsch 1975) and subsequently championed by C.B. Stringer, and the multiregional model proposed in 1943 by Franz Weidenreich (Weidenreich 1943a) and subsequently championed by C.L. Brace and M.H. Wolpoff.
Modern forms of man already existed at the same time the Neanderthals existed, making it impossible for the latter to be ancestral to the formal.
The replacement hypothesis expects that modern human forms, wherever they are found, should exhibit the regional features characteristic of their ancestral Sub-Saharan African populations, whereas the continuity model expects regional populations to exhibit features characteristic of the populations ancestral to them and spatially located in the same geographic area.

My husband thought that the man was a witness who wanted to connect with the humans below because they lived at a deeper level, a more vital or authentic level, in touch with their emotional and spiritual selves.

 ADLER ARCHIVE: Concerning God, Modern Man, and Religion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Yet if it is to be expected that efforts to modernize theology and religion will always cause a stir, several special aspects of the case in the 1950s and 1960s -- which are still at work among us -- are worth noting.
This lost to the modern world the great achievements in theology that accumulated from the fourth to the fourteenth century.
His basic error was his failure to see that while God and man have the same attributes, "living," "knowing," "willing," and "loving" when said of God and man are said analogously, not univocally -- as "animal" is said univocally of human beings and of pigs and cows.
