Originally published in 1960, The Future of Man is a comprehensive chronicle of Professor Medwars Reith's lectures delivered in 1959. Within its pages, the book offers a fascinating exploration of the professor's predictions about the future destiny of humanity. Rather than focusing solely on the actual predictions themselves, Medwars Reith takes a methodological approach, emphasizing the process of foretelling. He delves into thought-provoking questions such as: Can we accurately predict the future size of populations? What evidence supports the belief that human intelligence is declining? Is it possible for human beings to achieve universal excellence, or is inherent diversity and inequality an essential aspect of the human tapestry? Through his lectures, Medwars Reith sought to provide answers to these profound inquiries. He aimed to conclude with a definitive understanding of the biological standing of man, a subject that will undoubtedly captivate anthropologists, biologists, and natural historians alike.
