From Glands to Governance: How Hormones Shape Human Physiology, Ethics, and Society

Abstract

This research explores the profound dissonance between modern technological civilization and humanity’s ancient evolutionary design. By synthesizing insights from evolutionary biology, neurobiology, endocrine regulation, and biohistory, the work investigates how contemporary digital media acts as an artificial stimulant that hijacks the human nervous system, disrupting baseline dopamine pathways and natural homeostatic equilibrium. Drawing a conceptual parallel between the regional adaptation of flora—where soil composition and climate dictate a plant's nutritional and active properties—and human physiology, the study argues that human physical constitutions, hormonal balances, and behavioral norms are inherently tied to specific environmental and biological boundaries. The work addresses the systemic erosion of moral and social structures caused by consumerist deviations from foundational evolutionary ethics, highlighting how modern societies frequently ignore structural technological triggers while attempting to regulate behavioral symptoms. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a return to bio-ethical awareness, self-restraint, and regional ecological harmony as essential prerequisites for preserving human dignity, family stability, and species longevity in the digital age.
