pp. 256, “In 1989, Francis Fukuyama made his now-famous pronouncement that because “the major alternatives to liberal democracy had exhausted themselves,” history as we knew it had reached its end. Ten years later, he revised his argument: we hadn’t reached the end of history, he wrote, because we hadn’t yet reached the end of science. Arguing that our greatest advances still to come will be in the life sciences, Fukuyama now asks how the ability to modify human behavior will affect liberal democracy. “
