THE BOOK THAT EXPLAINS HUMANS

 

5 June 2003 Media Release

A Species In Denial, the astonishing new book by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, will be launched today at the Australian Museum in Sydney.

 

Tim Macartney-Snape, renowned mountaineer, biologist and twice honoured order of Australia recipient, will be speaking at the launch.

 

“A Species In Denial represents a definitive work on the subject of the human condition, human’s capacity for good and evil. It boldly explores this new frontier and introduces the reader to the immense potential this exploration brings,” Mr Macartney-Snape said.

 

“The human condition is the crux issue before us as a species. It is only by finding the greater dignifying and thus reconciling understanding of human nature that there can be any real progress for humanity,” explained Jeremy Griffith.

 

“While humans have had to cope with the depressing subject of our corrupted, human condition-afflicted state by living in denial of it, understanding its cause liberates humanity from the human condition and ends the need for the denial.”

 

The launch of A Species In Denial follows a significant defamation ruling by a NSW Supreme Court jury in favour of Tim Macartney-Snape and Jeremy Griffith in relation to a 1995 ABC program about their work with the Foundation for Humanity’s Adulthood, an organisation established to promote inquiry into the human condition, of which they are directors.

 

Mr Macartney-Snape said the ruling was significant because it upholds the right for new ideas to be fairly debated.

 

“The human condition is naturally a contentious realm of inquiry because it is where science and religion finally overlap. Where inquiry into the human condition is concerned it is absolutely critical that these ideas not be misrepresented.”
