    About this ebook

    Gregory Sandstrom, Ph.D., publishes the book, "Human Extension: An Alternative to Evolutionism, Creationism and Intelligent Design", (2014, Palgrave Macmillan of Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Britain). This book is one among a sequence of publications proposing that an evolutionary understanding of humans is not enough. A new paradigm for inquiry is required.
    Curiously, even though Sandstrom calls for a new paradigm, he does not have the cognitive tools to achieve his goal. Indeed, he waxes on how the term, "extension", is full of potential. He wanes on how human extension differs from three ideologies, evolutionism, creationism and intelligent design. Well, intelligent design is sort of a brand of creationism.
    Yet, he cannot lift a finger in pointing out how human extension explains evolutionism and intelligent design, rather than the other way around.
    The opportunity is open for simple cognitive tools that are based on the structure of triadic relations. In particular, two cognitive tools stand out: the category-based nested form and the two-level interscope. A separate commentary discusses Sandstrom's project using the Greimas square.
    In addition to the application of triadic relations. The hypothesis of the first singularity completes the picture by showing that the disciplines of extension and intension characterize our current Lebenswelt. As such, they are decidedly historical.
    At the same time, the cognitive tools are permutations of adaptations characteristic of the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.
    These comments come out of the gate showing how evolutionism and intelligent design (as a brand of creationism) are accounted for by a two-level interscope, serving as a cognitive tool in the discipline of human extension. Welcome to a new age of understanding.
