Walter Truett Anderson Ph.D.

President, World Academy of Art and Science


Walt Anderson is a political scientist, futurist, and author of numerous books including To Govern Evolution:  Further Adventures of the Political Animal; Evolution Isn’t What It Used To Be:  The Augmented Animal and the Whole Wired World; and All Connected Now:  Life in the First Global Civilization.  He lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area, and currently serves as president of the World Academy of Art and Science.

The Big Picture: Enhancement on a Global Scale

Some scientists propose a new name for the present epoch—the Anthropocene – in recognition of the role that humanity now plays not only in its own evolution, but in the geological and biological evolution of the entire planet.  After 12,000 years, the Holocene epoch is coming to a close; a new chapter is opening, in which the workings of the world are inseparable from the workings of the human mind.  This requires an expansion of the context of the human enhancement debate, to consider the virtual certainty of indirect impacts on species and ecosystems, and the high likelihood of their being directly modified in many ways.
