As all my writings on the subject testify, I am looking forward to posthistory. I accept it with open arms. Although I will not witness it, I can already feel it in my bones. After a detour that will have lasted an entire interglacial period, humans will return to the tribal mode of existence. This is where they come from in prehistory, and they will thus feel at home in posthistory, as well. The only trouble is the demise of civilization as we know it, which may take a thousand years or maybe a bit longer. The onset of the next glaciation period will be swift, and the transition back to tribal life is therefore not likely to last all that long. The rapid and rough drop in human population notwithstanding, posthistory beckons. Only imagine the warmth of the open fire in the evening, the glow of familiar faces, and the fragrance of the roast being prepared for all. Everything will be just right. The howling of wolves in the neighboring mountains will be almost a pleasure, too. Tomorrow’s hunt will be on everyone’s mind. The feast coming in its wake will induce many a smile. Whenever eyes meet, smiles will turn into grins. Posthistory!
