Michel Odent's exploration of the enigmatic relationship between humans and water has been a lifelong pursuit. In his book "Planet Ocean," he compellingly argues that the evolution of the oceans, particularly the fluctuations in sea levels, and the evolution of humans are inextricably linked. The oceans, as vast and mysterious entities, hold ninety-five percent of the planet's habitable space within their depths. Odent guides us towards a radically new perspective on human nature, emphasizing our defining characteristic, a supersized brain, as a central theme that connects diverse aspects of our existence. From our nutritional requirements to our interactions with sea mammals and the unique birthing process of our species, Odent reveals the profound connections between these seemingly disparate topics. He also explores the concept of "the oceanic feeling," a transcendent emotional state associated with the vastness and majesty of the ocean. This feeling, akin to the boundless nature of the sea, suggests the absence of limits and opens up a realm of possibilities. Access to these states can be linked to phenomena such as the foetus ejection reflex, highlighting the interconnectedness of swimming, the birth process, and transcendence. "Planet Ocean" is a captivating interdisciplinary study that sheds light on our profound connections to water and underscores their significance in our daily lives. It encourages us to reevaluate our relationship with this vital resource and recognize its role in shaping our understanding of human nature.
