Abstract

The New Great Migration of Peoples Post-Sapiens Anthropology: Beyond the Rational Horizon This work offers a provocative re-evaluation of 21st-century global demographic shifts, framing them as a fundamental "Anthropological Event Horizon." The author posits that Homo sapiens is not a biological constant but a time-limited cognitive mode established during the "Axial Age" and canonized by Modernity. This mode is now reaching its terminal phase. The core of the study examines the "demographic asynchronicity" between the aging, "fading" populations of the Global North and the explosive biological energy of the Global South. This disparity creates an inevitable "demographic volcano," projecting a migration of 1.5 to 2 billion people by the end of the century. Through the lens of the Mediterranean "laboratory" and the shifting textures of metropolises like Paris and Moscow, the book explores the mechanics of "anthropological digestion"—the process by which young biological masses absorb exhausted civilizational forms. The author concludes that we are witnessing the birth of a "Post-Sapiens" human: a hybrid, network-tribal identity that succeeds the rational, liberal individual of the past five centuries. This is not a temporary crisis, but a biological law of history where a multiplying world replaces a dying one, marking the transition from controlled political management to an irreversible geographical transformation.
