About the Presenter

Homo habilis, Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis - these are the four main Homo species that, according to anthropology, led to the emergence of Homo sapiens, our present species. Is Homo sapiens, though, the final chapter in the book of human evolution, or more remains to be written? And if the latter is the case, will such evolution proceed along strictly physical lines or, as Theosophy teaches, it will also involve an evolution at a consciousness level, a transition from our Homo sapiens to what may rightly be called Homo spiritualis?
