About the Textbook Human

Hi. I am a 26 year old guy living in Melbourne.

Here is a quick framework for the direction of this Tumblelog. Firstly, a “Tumblelog” is less about what I have to say, and more about what the world is saying about itself. Wikipedia can carve out the definition in full if you are interested.

The Name

A Textbook is a manual of instruction or a standard book in any branch of study.

And a Human is of course in reference to us. But specifically our aspects of humanity:

• Habitat
• Biology
• Psychology
• Culture
• Society

And the “Textbook Human” is simply a stereotypical human. A human with pervasive traits that fits the mold of humanity.

What I want to do, is make a web log of humans minor and major developments. I’m not going to report on history, but talk about the now, the new, and the future. I am not a professional, or a specialist. So that is why there is going to be minimal commentary from myself. I will let the information speak for itself, in true tumblelog fashion. I think it will be really interesting to capture this development.

Hopefully in time, I can holistically see what it is to be a human in this rapid-change century.

We will see.
