(2014) Human extension, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Sandstrom shows the relevance of including Human Extension in conversations about evolution, creation and Intelligent Design by placing it within a broader discussion of science, philosophy and theology/worldview. He explores the possibility of Human Extension sociology as a "design-manufacture" approach, which distinguishes it from the Intelligent Design movement, since there is no Intelligent Design Theory in social sciences. Sandstrom also highlights the distinction between "natural selection" and "human selection" or "artificial selection" in resisting pressure to build a naturalistic sociological approach. The chapter outlines several uses of Human Extension that highlight cooperation, collaboration and mutual aid instead of evolutionary theory's focus on competition, conflict and war.
