for darwin, the human species must adapt towards an insectile civilization. scientific advancements could empower the sexual proportion of our human population. through the hormonal manipulation of mans endocrinological system, scientists might eradicate sexual compulsion by means of chemical castration. the desexualization of humanitys propagational instinct would placate frustration among its celibate population: why cannot man set up a community like an ants' nest? this would be the ideal of the anarchist, and hitherto it has held no promise at all of success, but with the help of recent and probable future biological discoveries, some sort of imitation by man of the ants' nest cannot be quite excluded from consideration. thus the control of the numbers of the two sexes may become possible, and with the knowledge of the various sexual hormones it might also become possible to free the majority of mankind from the urgency of sexual impulse, so that they could live contented celibate lives, instead of the unsatisfied celibate lives that are the compulsory lot of such a large fraction of the present population of the world. if these discoveries should be madeand this is really by no means impossibleman would be able to carry out the sex revolution which is the typical characteristic of the insect civilizations.
