The "Transformation" of Mankind

The history of Mankind can be traced from the time of its
transformation, when it received a new, powerful brain around forty to
fifty thousand years ago. The Homo Sapiens' physical body had evolved
through the geological ages but its "Mind" was created fairly recently
(geologically speaking). This final evolution of the brain is what made

us human. Our body is that of an rather ordinary animal but our "Mind"
is what separates human beings from the rest of the animal world.


The transformation of mankind into the "Homo Imaginative Sapiens"
species seems to be more a software change rather then a hardware
change. The "brain" is the hardware and the "mind" is the software
that uses the power of the large brain to do its thing. The
Neandertals
and the humanoids (modern humans before the transformation) both
had very large brains but they lacked the powerful imagination of
modern man. When the transformation occured, the capability of
millions of new pathways and connections became possible within
the brain. This new, more powerful "software" made it possible for
modern man to reach its full creative potential.

The "Transformation" was a worldwide event - no matter where the tribes
of the Homo
Sapiens had wandered, their brains suddenly evolved the final vital
cells that enabled them to have this Special Gift, a powerful "Mind"
capable of creative imagination. This is when the Homo Sapiens species
was transformed into the "Homo Imaginative Sapiens". This is the time
when the "MIND" of Mankind was created.

This is the time when anthroplogical evidence indicates mankind's
tremendous new creative power began to cause strange - wondrous -
things to began happening on our tiny planet. Beautiful new tools,
paintings and other artifacts began to be created. Words and languages
were invented. Storytelling began. With human imagination - Mankind
began its relentless progress through the ages.
