Who is joe watkins

I am a Choctaw Indian from Oklahoma. I was raised as a Southern Baptist, where religion was Hell-fire and damnation strongly laced with guilt, until the age of 14, when my mother allowed me to choose my own religious path. During the summers, however, I attended Luksukla Indian Church in Wright City, Oklahoma, with services conducted in the Choctaw language and all-day gatherings focused on community and fellowship. Since then, I have attended ceremonies in Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues, Native American Church tepees, Muslim mosques, and other celebrations of religious belief in formal and informal settings.

To this base I have added a generous sprinkling of anthropology, philosophy, history, and science. I am a firm believer in the scientific explanations offered by the theory of evolution as a means of understanding the physical processes that underlie the mechanism whereby humanity has reached the stage where it exists today.

Each one fills a different need within that which I believe is a part of Being Human. Given the impact of humans on the planet over the past , years, what might it mean to be human over the next century? The impact of humans on the plant over the last , years has been exponential, but more so perhaps within the last years. Human bodies no longer had to adapt to shifting climates or geographical regions since the products of human invention stone tools, clothing, architecture, farming, and so forth served that function.

It no longer requires millennia for evolutionary practices to help humans occupy and flourish in marginal environments since warmer clothing and better health care makes it easier for individuals to survive. We continue to take advantage of marginal areas, occasionally to the detriment of other societies, but always putting a stress on natural resources. We continue to improve on our technology at a rate far beyond those envisioned even 25 years ago. We more and more rely on external brains to do the work of our internal one.

The number of people engaged in intense conversations with their cell phones far outweighs the number engaged in conversations with other humans.
