A New Path: To Transcend the Great Forgetting Through Incorporating Ancestral Practices into Contemporary Living

A New Path takes a candid look at the contemporary lifeway of humans in an attempt to reinstate our biological norms--patterns of living that define each species on the planet. Whether one is to discuss a wolf a caribou or an eagle there are features of these animals lives that define them. Given their unique adaptations they are tailored through evolution to living in a particular way (e.g. a caribou cannot enjoy the diet of a wolf). This book presents the forgotten species norms of Homo sapiens and explains that when we deviate from these patterns we experience sickness of various kinds: cancer depression cardiovascular disease diabetes etc. Through combining historical observations of hunter-gatherers people who were extremely resilient to chronic disease with modern evidence- based research A New Path tackles the mythology of improving life through technology. Then provides guidance on many important aspects of human health including diet water medicine awareness nature immersion movement hormesis community and ancestral technologies. Through its unique lens this book makes a case for loss of health and sovereignty as a result of human domestication and seeks to rekindle peoples desire for nature connection and eco-conscientious living.
