The first known declaration of human origin
To the best of our knowledge, in his book Powering Up published June 2023, Alan Finkel became the first author in the world to make a declaration of human origin.
It is the first known use of a human-origin declaration in publishing, and the example that shaped how Proudly Human certifies human-created work today.
