We have outgrown the family: the community educates the rising generation. Parenthood is increasingly confined to reproduction and parturition. But the community remains largely incoherent, a heterogenous mixture of disputing creeds and conflicting social heredities. It will require much social planning before a scientifically designed society, its psychology balanced with its economy, will emerge.

This can only happen when society and the isophyl understand one another. Where other highly developed societies have created an apparently unchanging social structure, best served by specialized types, (derived by atrophy of specific sex structure) human society is essentially mobile, progressive. This type therefore, instead of atrophying, retains youthful unspecialization into the stage of adult awareness and responsibility.

The isophy is a further development of that human power to put off "settling down" the resiliency which makes man civilizable. If our society is to progress (being mobile, it must progress, or crash) it must be manned by at least some members who because they can keep young, have two essentials:

Emotionally, they retain the generalized response and out-goingness of children, which our loyalty-governed community must have to avoid moral bankruptcy. Intellectually, they keep that curiosity, also a quickly lost characteristic of youth, which our changing community also needs to use its new powers creatively. An open mind. is more important than a high I.Q. By nature is suited to develop emotionally and intellectually. He needs but realize that to equip himself for the services which will establish beyond doubt his value to this age.

When any species, under the struggle to survive, reproduced bisexually, the two

sexes come to be excessively differentiated. The male gorilla may be twice the size of the female. Neanderthal woman was first mistaken as a different species from Neanderthal man, so great were the differences. As conditions became easier, the climate more genial, the sexes tend again to approximate.

The interpretives, administrative types (priest, prophet, artist) tend to rise among the intergrades. A balanced mixture of the "andric" and "gynic" factors seem to be the endocrine poise which best combines the exploratory urge with the compositional desire. Hence such a type is most likely to arrive at profoundly new insights.

Analysis of the creative process has today become one of the great concerns of education. The open mind was never so necessary. All research into the mind shows that further evolution depends on retaining resilience. The isophyl has the mindbody makeup which makes possible the openness of heart and mind without which toleration disappears, progress is arrested, and society declines into tyranny.

If mankind is to retain its liberties, rid itself of war and social violence, and advance, two factors will establish themselves:

The andric-gynic blend will be established as the characteristic poise of the progressive type. Natural Selection will favor this, as prejudice proves an increasingly high security risk. An atavistic mind endangers an accelerating community.

Our radical inventions call for minds of unusual openness. Our unprecedented awareness of other cultures, which we can no longer hope to deform to our prejudice, compel us to be anthropologically minded. The isophyl, retaining the child's uncrafty geniality and trusting friendliness, is most suited to negotiate with other social heredities. His future seems to be in the intellectual services he can render in exploring the further frontiers of the mind, and in the diplomatic or anthropological services working toward the federalization of mankind.
