These essays are about the human experience of time. Containing 63 essays this eBook now covers the gamut: from the biology of humans which gives homo sapiens a sense of time that other animals do not have, to the development of consciousness to the manipulation of time by prehistoric, ancient and modern cultures.
In the almost 5 years that this blog has been published, it has recorded over 50, pageviews from readers in more than half of the countries in the world. The essay-blog Animal Senses Compared to the Human Sense of Time which I reprinted as a separate PDF document has been viewed almost times at the two academic websites, Academia.

I the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download a large number of ideas I wanted to explore in the time left to me -- which I could now find support for with the help of the Internet. Nevertheless, I have only been able to outline many of these ideas. It is my hope that scholars who read my work will continue where I left off and add to my ideas both with new insights and also new evidence for the truth of what I have written.
I also hope that others will add to and expand my inquiry into the human experience of time. It is my belief that such an understanding is crucial for the survival of the human species. Dealing with problems such as climate change, require an understanding of time, for example. But this is just one of a host of issues that are associated with the human experience of time.
It surrounds us at every moment, at every turn. We take time as a fact of life. Yet, although we think very little about workings of time, we are at its mercy. PICTURE CAPTION: What could we gain by obtaining a perspective on time, by standing a bit outside of time?
His discoveries did not change our sexual urges, yet his ideas gave us insights that allowed us to be more at ease with this basic drive, the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download. I the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download, the same could be said of time.
We need to not dwell on the past yet realize that it is more important and accessible than we thought. As for the future, we can begin to get a grasp of what we can and cannot know and live within its boundaries. Although the clock will still continue to tick, our relation to time will be changed.
If my exploration is successful, for example, the past will become more relevant -- the future will be less remote and frightening. And, hopefully, we can become more relaxed in the now moment. We can learn to shed the alienation, so common in today's culture, for a more comfortable sense of time and place.
I believe it is the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download modern human -- i. Homo sapiens sapiens -- sense of time that is the key difference between humans and the other animals. And further I believe that time, as we experience it, is created by our uniquely human brains and is critical to our sense of consciousness. A friend of mine, who is an anthropologist with a PhD and who has spent a lifetime studying the effect migrating primitive humans had on the environment, made the point that whenever humans arrived at a new location, they radically changed the environment.
I believe this is because humans can see patterns, remember those patterns and then project those patterns into the future. But understanding patterns requires a sense of time. Knowing when the fish ran in the past and will run in the future, the birds migrate, the crops grow, the seasons change is fundamental to human survival. This is also why humans have been able to adapt to just about any environment or part of the world, i.
because they could grasp new patterns when they moved to a new place. Even the initial process of perceiving patterns required a sense of time. Humans had to see what was similar and recurring and discard what was random and inconsequential. The process of grasping a pattern meant that a culture had to relate later behavior to past behavior and understand the relationship. While tool making has often been cited as one of the key differences between humans and animals, it was an understanding of how a tool was to be used -- which first required a memory of the past -- that determined the construction, shape and usefulness of the tool.
Small cropped area from the huge timeline of world history: Adams Monumental Illustrated Panorama of History, Constructing a net for fishing, for example, required experience in the past of how fish moved. In fact our entire culture requires an ability to access the past.
Learning in school, for example, would have no meaning or usefulness if years later we could not draw on the lessons and skills learned. Even understanding the words on this page requires that in the past you learned the meaning of each word -- and without that past these words the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download be meaningless.
Our sense of time is a unique function of our brains -- with short term, medium term and long term memories residing in our brain cells. Thus I believe it is our brains that have created this time-world we live in. The best term I know to describe this human world of time is what I call 'human meta-time'. Yet we are so immersed in time, it is difficult to consider and separate ourselves from this immersion.
We swim inside of time and time is always now. Trying to understand time is a bootstrap operation; we must lift ourselves up to a new perspective -- and for the moment put ourselves outside of time.
So in this series of essays, I will put forth ideas and concepts that examine a more complex understanding of how time operates than the one we take for granted every day. A deep-sea fish has probably no means of apprehending the existence of water; it is too uniformly immersed in it Sir Oliver Lodge, British scientist While the other senses such as seeing, hearing etc. are widely studied, the sense of time, while crucial, does not get much attention.
There are two reasons for this: the first is that like the deep-sea fish we are too immersed in time so we have few means of apprehending its existence; the second is that our experience with time is quite complicated, so it's hard to know where to start or what questions to ask.
Human perception of duration is subjective and variable. In only the last month, for example, it was reported in National Geographic that: Elephants Have 2, Genes for Smell, Most Ever Found and Bats Set Their Internal Compass at Dusk, A First Among Mammals.
In addition, about a year ago, the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download, National Geographic reported that Dung Beetles Navigate Via the Milky Way, First Known in Animal Kingdom. National Geographic, for example, wrote, "Greater mouse-eared bats set their internal magnetic compass using the pattern of light polarization -- light that vibrates in one direction.
This young antelope middle has large ears which it can move to focus sounds. Bats right depend on their antennae-like ears to determine distances using echolocation, i. bouncing changing sounds off of objects. Often this data is processed by the animal's brain, making it much more sensitive. So while a dog has million smell sensors vs. This means that a dog is 10, the place where we dwell 3rd edition pdf download, times more sensitive to smell than humans according to the latest research reported by NOVA on PBS.
html] PICTURE CAPTION: Human smell left is one of our weakest senses, far surpassed by dogs middle who are 10, times more sensitive and bears right whose ability to smell is 7 times more sensitive than dogs. Senses are also used in combination with other abilities of an animal, such as the duck- billed platypus who can sense tiny electric impulses in its prey -- and then can zero in on the location by moving its bill in a sweeping manner.
PICTURE CAPTION: "The platypus can determine the direction of an electric source, perhaps by comparing differences in signal strength across the sheet of electroreceptors.
This would explain the characteristic side-to-side motion of the animal's head while hunting. While the stimuli that a sense perceives is clearly outside the organism, the way that the stimuli is interpreted and acted on is determined by the animal, i. it is subjective. With human eyes for example: "Almost all higher order features of vision are influenced by expectations based on past experience. This characteristic extends to color and form perception to face and object recognition and to motion and spatial awareness
