Man's Place in Nature: The Human Zoological Group

In this book Teilhard expounds the evolutionary history of the earth, the arrival of the human species, and it's destiny in the far future. He identifies certain threads of recurrence in evolution's past, and using these laws of recurrence he projects the most probable future destiny of the earth. His ingenious conclusion is that evolution is in fact involuting on itself, meaning that the future (like the past) is one of convergence and synthesis, destined for eventually single unity in what he calls the Omega Point. He has been identified as the inspiration of Transformism.
