About Roots magazine

The industrialization and ongoing technologization of society is nothing in terms of time compared to the almost two and a half million years we have lived as hunter-gatherers. If hunter-gatherers had written history books, we might wonder whether our modern life would even have been mentioned in the margins of those history books. Most of the human genes are still tuned to life as a hunter-gatherer and cannot keep up with the pace of the contemporary high-tech global economy. This mismatch leads to many challenges, causing us to run from one problem to another without solving any of them. Roots (online) magazine delves into who we truly are as human beings, to share the true human history and better understand ourselves and the world today.
