  215
• 4:1   
  To explain the human condition science had to be invented, a process Socrates, Plato and Aristotle initiated

  215

• 4:2   
  Even with the development of science, it wasn’t until Darwin introduced his idea of natural selection that it finally became possible to explain the human condition

  217

• 4:3   
  Since the human condition could be explained once Darwin presented his idea of natural selection in 1859, why did it take well over a century for it to be explained?

  219

• 4:4   
  Six Unconfrontable Truths blocking access to understanding of the human condition

  221

• 4:4A   
  Firstly, we have been unable to confront the issue of the human condition itself, the issue of why aren’t humans cooperative, selfless and loving?

  221

• 4:4B   
  Secondly, upset humans have had to deny the truth of Integrative Meaning

  221

• 4:4C   
  Thirdly, we have had to live in denial of what consciousness really is

  226

• 4:4D   
  Fourthly, the upset human race has had to deny the truth that our species once instinctively lived in a completely integrated, cooperative, harmonious state

  229

• 4:4E   
  Fifthly, the upset human race has had to deny the differences in upset between human individuals, races, genders, generations, civilisations and cultures.

  234

• 4:4F   
  Sixthly, the upset human race has had to deny that nurturing played the all-important role in both the maturation of our species and in the maturation of our own lives

  239

• 4:5   
  The history of the search for understanding of the human condition

  240

• 4:6   
  First Category of Thinker: Those who admitted the involvement of our moral instincts and corrupting intellect in producing the upset state of the human condition

  241

• 4:7   
  Second Category of Thinker: Those who admitted the involvement of our moral instincts and corrupting intellect in producing the upset state of the human condition and who attempted to explain how those elements produced that upset psychosis

  252

• 4:8   
  Third Category of Thinker: Those who recognised the involvement of the elements of instinct and intellect in the psychosis of our human condition, but who avoided the issue of the human condition by denying we have moral instincts

  263

• 4:9   
  Fourth Category of Thinker: The great majority of the human race who avoided the whole issue of a psychosis in our human situation by simply blaming our selfish and aggressive behaviour on supposed brutish and savage animal instincts within us that our intellect supposedly has to control

  588

• 8:5B   
  John Fiske’s 1874 recognition of the obvious truth that nurturing created our moral sense

  589

• 8:5C   
  The problem has been that the nurturing origins of our moral soul has been devastatingly, unbearably, excruciatingly condemning

  To deny the importance of nurturing, the Social Intelligence Hypothesis was invented

  600
