A finding aid for publicly accessible Human Design primary source materials — early newsletters, archived websites, research papers, and historical documents.
This page is a finding aid, not a content repository. It catalogs where primary Human Design source materials can be found, with direct links to publicly accessible archives. This archive does not reproduce copyrighted content — it documents its existence and location. All links verified June 2026.

The New Sun Services America newsletter is one of the oldest surviving primary source documents for the teaching of Human Design in the United States. Published from Taos, New Mexico by Chaitanyo Taschler and Zeno Dickson — two of Ra’s first American students (trained and certified fall 1993) — the newsletter documented the system as it was taught in the American school before and during the formation of the national organization network. Contributors included Martin Grassinger and Zeno Dickson.

Section 4 — Eleanor Haspel-Portner Research Paper
- Organization: Rave Life Sciences / Eleanor Haspel-Portner Ph.D.
- Location: humandesignsystem.de/news/RLS/prelim(1).htm
- Access: Publicly accessible without login
The only statistically documented validation of any Human Design construct in the public record. Co-authored by Eleanor Haspel-Portner Ph.D., Ra Uru Hu, Marvin M. Portner M.D., Erik Memmert, and Charles Haspel. Tests Human Design Type against five samples of 5,000 birth records drawn at random from the general population.
Finding: Type holds up as a highly significant differentiating variable in all groups far beyond the 99% level of confidence.

Section 7 — New SunWare: Erik Memmert and the Original Human Design Software
- Organization: New SunWare (Erik Memmert, Augsburg, Germany)
- Legal notice: newsunware.com/eng/Service/LegalNotice.asp
- Access: Publicly accessible
Erik Memmert built the first Human Design calculation software — known as the Neutrinos software — in 1993. He holds the graphics copyright on the original Human Design software output. Memmert was a co-author of the Haspel-Portner research paper (1999–2000): “Preliminary Research on the Human Design System and Health” lists him as a contributor. The German Human Design community history page (humandesignsystem.de/History.asp) attributes the 1993 authorship of the Neutrinos software to Memmert. The chart archive at humandesignsystem.com/archive/charts/ uses his software output.
His entity New SunWare is distinct from New Sun Services (Jürgen Saupe’s publishing entity) and New Sun Services America (Zeno and Chaitanyo’s U.S. entity), though the names were used in overlapping contexts in the 1993–1996 period.
