"Trust a few, fear the rest"

the anxiety and fantasy of human evolution

Pramod K. Nayar

pp. 380-390

Abstract

Contemporary Hollywood films dealing with human evolution exhibit a dialectic: the anxiety about the nature of the superhuman, who is the result of the evolutionary process, whether voluntary or involuntary, and the "popular fantasy" of what I shall be calling a 'species cosmopolitanism".
