About the Film
Man. Who is he? Where is he headed? Will he survive?Mankind now faces the greatest challenge since the dawn of Early Man 60,000 years ago. If the world's leading scientists, humanists, biogeneticists, evolutionary philosophers, missionary evangelists, and marsupial specialists are correct in their current hypotheses, we are sitting on a little-regarded fact that concerns the future of our species. Some call is Montezuma's revenge; some call it inevitable; some simply call it the road to dumbness. But the fact remains: humans are devolving. In other words, we are evolving, but in the opposite direction.
According to spectral analytics, humans will undo the evolutionary "progress" of the past 60,000 years in the next 150 years. That's 400 times as fast as the evolutionary build-up. As Dr. Teodoro Concubesco, the Morton Neril Professor Emeritus of the Institute for Devolutionary Studies puts it, "It may take a number of days to climb up a mountain, but it only take a moment to reach the bottom when you jump off. Devolution follows a similar trajectory." What does all this mean? In the words of Professor Thelonius Monk, the co-founder of the Institute of Devolutionary Studies, "We're fucked." Why? The Institute has groundbreaking data that proves unequivocally that man is devolving into an earlier primate form.
In the critically acclaimed documentary expose DEVOLUTION: NATURE'S U-TURN, leading experts from the field of devolution explore the science, psychology, and philosophical ramifications of Man's rapid-rate undoing.
