The continuum concept is an idea, coined by Jean Liedloff in her 1975 book The Continuum Concept, that human beings have an innate set of expectations that our evolutionary process has designed us to meet (which Liedloff calls the continuum) in order to achieve optimal physical, mental, and emotional development and adaptability.
Jean Liedloff came into contact with the Ye'kuana in the 1950s, while working as a photographer for Italian diamond hunters, and in subsequent personal visits.
