At the dawn of the third millennium, the future of evolutionary humanism is unclear./ For sixty years after the end of the war against Hitler it was taboo to link humanism with evolution and to advocate using biological methods to upgrade Homo sapiens./ But today such projects are back in vogue./ No one speaks about exterminating lower races or inferior people, but many contemplate using our increasing knowledge of human biology to create superhumans.

At the same time, a huge gulf is opening between the tenets of liberal humanism and the latest findings of the life sciences, a gulf we cannot ignore much longer./ Our liberal political and judicial systems are founded on the belief that every individual has a sacred inner nature, indivisible and immutable, which gives meaning to the world, and which is the source of all ethical and political authority./ This is a reincarnation of the traditional Christian belief in a free and eternal soul that resides within each individual.

Yet over the last 200 years, the life sciences have thoroughly undermined this belief./ Scientists studying the inner workings of the human organism have found no soul there./ They increasingly argue that human behaviour is determined by hormones, genes and synapses, rather than by free will - the same forces that determine the behaviour of chimpanzees, wolves and ants./ Our judicial and political systems largely try to sweep such inconvenient discoveries under the carpet./ But in all frankness, how long can we maintain the wall separating the department of biology from the departments of law and political science?
