In humans he explains that we can trace man's evolution by observing
the various stages of embryonic growth today. During gestation, the embryo replicates years of evolution and we can see all the forms in which humans were born over many, many years. The stage at which a baby is now born represents the farthest advance of human evolution. But, get this! The DNA which controls the development of the embryo does not play out all the way. In other words, it's like a CD that stops at a certain point, but has more on it to play. And that unplayed part, Leary said is the instructions for man's future evolution. He wanted to devise a way to force the CD to play itself out so that we could see what man would look like in the very distant future... Pretty radical.
