Civilized Man's Eight Deadly Sins (German: Die acht Todsünden der zivilisierten Menschheit) is a book by the Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz. It is about major threats against humans that Lorenz sees in ingoing disregards of nature and in new and emerging technologies. The material originated as six lectures Lorenz held for Bayerischer Rundfunk in 1970, before a revised version was published as a book in 1973.[1][2]
