Something happened to humans about 60,000 years ago, and whatever that was, it has changed everything. Our minds opened to new ways of thinking that we would describe as consciousness--an awareness of time and space, our finite existence, with spirituality and language following soon thereafter. The rest is history: mankind and his technology flooded the world. This is a book of unique ideas, some never before seen in print, which looks at neurobiology, evolution, ancient art and spirituality, and the origin of language. It draws upon current science in an easy to read style, alluding to answers on the mystery of human progress.
