Part 1.    The author traces the origin and history of Mankind from the time of its transformation, when the Homo Sapiens were transformed into an imaginative species around fifty thousand years ago. The Homo Sapiens' physical body had slowly evolved over a period of several million years 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.

It was a worldwide event - Around fifty thousands years ago the tribes of the Homo Sapiens, no matter where they had wandered, for some unknown reason, their children's brains began to become creative. For thousands of centuries their children's intelligence had always remained the same as their parents but now as they matured they began to become smarter then their parents. They began to create finer weapons, beads, all sorts of artifacts, etc. Each succeeding generation became more imaginative. They began to create new words, sentences, abstract meanings. Some of them began to paint pictures of animals, etc. This happened over a period of time, each generation becoming more imaginative. The Homo Sapiens had received their "Special Gift", a much more powerful brain capable of creative thinking. The Homo Sapiens species had been 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 then tribal languages were invented and passed down through the ages. Storytelling began. Using its human imagination mankind began its relentless progress and is still progressing at the present time with no sign of stopping.

Part 2.    The author explores a new concepts in science, cosmology, metaphysics, etc. Some of the ideas and theories that prevailed in the 20th century will be replaced by new concepts for the 21st century. Mankind - using its tremendous creative imagination will progress ever forward in this century continuing to increase its control over its own destiny - who knows how far it will go.
