Modern science has overlooked this in order to maintain that we are at the pinnacle of our evolution. However, the halt in brain expansion explains not only recently uncovered anomalies within the human brain but also the global traditions of an earthly paradise lost and of humanity’s degeneration from our original state of perpetual wonder and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on more than 20 years of research, authors Tony Wright and Graham Gynn explore how our modern brains are performing far below their potential and how we can unlock our higher abilities and return to the euphoria of Eden. They explain how for millions of years early forest-dwelling humans were primarily consuming the hormone-rich sex organs of plants—fruit—each containing a highly complex biochemical cocktail evolved to influence DNA transcription, rapid brain development, and elevated neural and pineal gland activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCiting recent neurological and psychological studies, the authors explain how the loss of our symbiotic fruit-based diet led to a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterised by aggressive behaviours, a fearful perception of the world, and the suppression of higher artistic, mathematical, and spiritual abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors show how many shamanic and spiritual traditions were developed to counteract our decline.
