A New Path: To Transcend the Great Forgetting Through Incorporating Ancestral Practices into Contemporary Living - Softcover
Synopsis
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 animal's 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 people's desire for nature connection and eco-conscientious living.

Review
"If you're a fan of Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens or the work of Jared Diamond--those books that do a deep dive into just how radically our modern way of life has diverged from the evolutionary norm for our species...then Arthur Haines's A New Path is a must-read."
--Jennifer Grayson, award-winning journalist and author of Unlatched
"I can think of no one better suited to write this book than Arthur Haines. It's his unique perspective, as a scientist, an experimental archeologist, a father, a forager, a hunter, and a first-generation neoaboriginal, that lends this text such profound credibility. May this work be, in part, a torch of guiding light, illuminating theNew Path before us. A path that leads us back to the balance that we--and the entire phylogeny of life--need so desperately to achieve." --Daniel Vitalis, host of the Rewild Yourself Podcast

Soft cover. Condition: Good. A New Path: To Transcend the Great Forgetting, Through Incorporating Ancestral Practices into Contemporary Living. V.F. Thomas Co., 2017. Softcover. Condition: Good+. "A New Path takes a candid look at the contemporary lifeway of humans in an attempt to reinstate our ancestral (read: biological) norms. This book represents a more holistic treatise on human well-being and unquestionably links the present condition to our manner of interaction with the natural world. Through its unique perspective, it stands apart from other books on natural health. This is accomplished through several powerful investigatory methods. One, it avoids creation of yet another fad lifestyle by elucidating our biological norms that have been documented in hunter-gatherers around the world. Written another way, it does not attempt to transcend human biology with novel proposals, but instead acknowledges that all living people belong to a lineage of hunter-gatherers millions of years old, a history that cannot be ignored when considering human wellness today. Two, it clarifies the confusing and often contradictory statements by various health authorities by combining modern scientific study with observations of our wild ancestors (i.e., people who were extremely resilient to chronic disease and depression until disruption of their lifeways), which provides a mechanism of truthing various health assertions. Three, throughout the book, it is recognized that human health is a complex, multifactorial state that is generated through the interaction of many issues. Therefore, rather than simply representing another volume on diet, it also shares evidence-based research and rewilding philosophy on water, medicine, awareness, human domestication, movement, hormesis, community, and ancestral technologies. It also includes a chapter on making conscientious market choices. This book is not about going backward in time, rather it lays out a path forward with the understanding that our recent wild progenitors experienced certain aspects of living that are extremely difficult to replicate in the modern world without guidance."
