Different stories, different histories about human origins shape and reshape our ‘models’ of human nature. Revisioning the past, as I’ve been suggesting (online and in my forthcoming manuscript) holds a radical potential, because how we see the past changes what is perceived as possible in the present. Past and future are entangled horizons, and if our history has been that more rich and polyvalent, that much more full of variation, possibility, and freedom (and not just an inevitable and predetermined march towards that ambiguous thing called ‘progress’), then our present as well as our future cease to be foreclosed by the end of our worldview. On the contrary, the immanent present becomes a new, creative horizon of the virtual and the possible.
