Let's Talk about Human SUpremacy

RELEASING 31ST MARCH 2026

We have a paradox. Nowadays, we mistrust claims of supremacy relating to class, gender, race and nationality yet are happy to embrace human supremacy, the belief that our own species is inherently superior and set apart. Trouble is, scientists can't find any evidence to support it. So why do we still insist on it?

This is a Man's-place-in-nature book for the modern age. The topic has long been a favourite, establishing the belief that shapes our view of ourselves over centuries. But those ideas were of their time. When we read them we cringe at the arrogance, the pomposity and the sheer sense of entitlement. They are light on objectivity and heavy on self-congratulation. It's time to revisit the topic, this time aiming for simple honesty. Think how satisfying it will be to have an understanding of ourselves the we can finally trust. 

By joining this mind quest you will discover the reasons why humans seem so different. Not the promotional reasons, or the selective thinking, or the heroic myths, or the shared delusions, but the real reasons. The answers, fascinating but not always flattering, are waiting inside. It's an investigation that will open a can of worms and reach a startling conclusion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After a career as a senior analyst in the IT sector, Alan Singlehurst applies his skills to the subject that had always struck him as illogical and full of dubious assumptions - man's view of himself. A lifetime of interest in the social and natural sciences had taught him that the big picture is too often neglected as academics pursue their own avenues of research. So he set about integrating many of the fields of study in his own quest for understanding. The project was successful, uncovering a hidden and unexpected reality. It is this that he now wishes to share.
