I’m exploring how humans evolved for 200,000 years toward cooperation and connection, then locked ourselves into hierarchy 10,000 years ago. We need to understand those mechanisms if we’re going to change course. I’m building a body of work around that, and inviting other thinkers to help develop the ideas.
About Me
I’m an ecologist and systems thinker exploring the evolutionary origins of human cooperation and why we abandoned it for hierarchy. Through writing, podcasting, and coaching, I work with people and movements doing fragmented work on systemic change, helping us see our shared roots and act with greater coherence. The question isn’t whether we *can* change direction evolutionarily. It’s whether we’ll do it together in time.
