Product Description
Science was invented by humans, evolved from the senses of sight, touch, smell, taste and hear. The sense of sight the first developed in vertebrates 300 million years ago. Touch no doubt followed but so did the others. Animals learned how to use the senses to survive - or they did not. Evolution was a slow process, at least relatively, until some twist in the chromosomes of the great hairy apes brought forth a naked ape with upright posture that threw the hips forward and the shoulders back, and freed the hands. The brain got larger but alas, there was only so much space in the skull so brain cells folded upon themselves resulting in a mess that looks like a wad of used clothes according to a marvelous nature writer. Driven by curiosity and desire to educate, people developed symbols, language, community, and thousands of inventions that make life comfortable and exciting for us all. For a world where we can enhance or destroy our species, we look to science for better choices.
