Exploring the global initiative that’s transforming lives, with growing roots on the continent
ACCRA, Ghana – In a world grappling with division, inequality, and the search for meaning, the World Transformation Movement (WTM) emerges as a profound force for change. Founded on the groundbreaking biological explanation of the human condition by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, the WTM is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to ending human suffering through understanding. As Africa navigates its unique challenges—from environmental conservation to cultural unity—the World Transformation Movement offers a scientific yet compassionate path forward, with active centres across the continent fostering dialogue and healing.
The World Transformation Movement’s Core Insight: Resolving the Human Struggle
At the heart of the World Transformation Movement is Griffith’s elegant explanation of why humans experience anger, ego, and alienation. Approximately two million years ago, as our ancestors developed a conscious intellect capable of reason and experimentation, it clashed with our pre-existing gene-based instincts. These instincts, honed by natural selection, criticised the intellect’s independent decisions as “wrong”, sparking psychological upset.
Griffith’s vivid “Adam Stork” analogy captures this perfectly: imagine a stork whose instincts demand it fly south for winter, but whose new conscious mind experiments by veering west. The instincts condemn it, leading to defensiveness, anger, alienation, and egocentricity. This internal conflict, the World Transformation Movement argues, is the true source of humanity’s “good and evil”—not innate flaws, but a heroic divergence necessary for our evolution.
How the World Transformation Movement Ends the Inner War
The genius of the World Transformation Movement lies in its liberating conclusion: once we grasp this conflict as understandable and brave, the upset behaviours become obsolete. Anger loses its grip, as subconscious guilt evaporates. Egocentricity fades, freed from the need to prove our worth. Alienation dissolves, giving way to genuine connection and self-acceptance. This immediate psychological rehabilitation, as championed by the World Transformation Movement, paves the way for personal and societal transformation—ending cycles of conflict and suffering.
Voices from Africa and Beyond Praise the World Transformation Movement
The World Transformation Movement has inspired admiration from global thought leaders, particularly those attuned to humanity’s deeper quests. Dr. Ian Player, the legendary South African conservationist renowned for saving the white rhinoceros, wrote of Griffith’s work: “I believe you are on to getting answers to much that has puzzled and bewildered humanity for a long time.”
Before his passing, the esteemed South African philosopher and author Sir Laurens van der Post reached out to Griffith, requesting: “Could you please send me an extra copy of your book? [Mine] is on loan because it was so appreciated.”
Echoing this, Reggie Khotshobe, the Igqirha (traditional healer) from South Africa, reflects: “Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition has answered the thus far unanswered core questions in life. It will take us all to our species’ destiny, to ‘ubuntu’”—the African philosophy of interconnected humanity.
From the scientific realm, Professor Stuart Hurlbert, Professor Emeritus of Biology at San Diego State University and a leading ecologist, hails the work as: “I am stunned and honored to have lived to see the coming of ‘Darwin II’.”
And Professor Harry Prosen, former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association and psychiatric consultant to the Bonobo Species Preservation Society, declares it “the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”
These endorsements underscore how the World Transformation Movement bridges science, philosophy, and cultural wisdom, resonating deeply in Africa where ubuntu and conservation ethics align with its vision.
The World Transformation Movement Takes Root in Africa
The World Transformation Movement is not just a global idea—it’s building communities across Africa. WTM Centres are thriving in South Africa (including Cape Town, Centurion, Eastern Cape, Port Elizabeth, Mahikeng, and Kimberley), as well as in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. These hubs host discussions, workshops, and outreach inspired by Griffith’s insights, promoting ubuntu through biological understanding. In a continent rich with resilience and communal spirit, the World Transformation Movement empowers locals to address environmental, social, and personal challenges with renewed clarity and unity.

For Ghanaians and fellow Africans seeking answers to life’s enduring puzzles, the World Transformation Movement provides free access to FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition, videos, and essays at the World Transformation Movement website. As Dr. Player suggested, this may indeed hold keys to what has long bewildered us. In the spirit of ubuntu, the World Transformation Movement invites us all to transform—not just individually, but as a continent and a species.
