humans as a race are uniquely lost (a little) because they both don't know where they come from and don't know where they are going.
how do you think that ends for the most part?
I think this book kind of recognizes this problem: where is humanity from? There's a power in controlling chronology. They make that clear. I'm not sure I believe their suggestion, though.
There are two conspiracy camps in chronology: the "dark ages never happened" crowd and the "antediluvian technology" club. They both irritate "conventional" historians. The problem is that conventional history rarely get a ... holistic? perspective. Most people just think about their little corner.
How does it end? Poorly. I think civilization was a bad idea. We aspire to be ants, not apes.
'civilization' just is, it was not ones idea it's just the sum of all the vectors of the variant humans that exist on the planet, if you want to look at it scientifically it's like a database, but with huge variables.
then you have to add into the equation a bunch of things you don't know about presently and you get the present reality.
the human type container is all about the galaxies in various forms, so if the book comes to that conclusion it's generally correct.
if it comes to the conclusion that humans did not originate on earth. also correct.
