July 3-First, let us dispense with the lying frauds that have been handed down to us by that carnival barker for the British Empire, Charles Darwin, to wit, that mankind's evolution stemmed from "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest." To simplify, the argument goes something like this: As the human species progressed, it adapted. It had an apposable thumb; it possessed a larger cranial size; it went through mutations and change in DNA make-up-all of which can be measured and analyzed mathematically. Over time, through trial and error, mankind developed (stumbled upon) new types of tools and ways of using them. Somehow, in some way, the human species progressed, as sort of a "smart monkey." Edgar Alan Poe would laugh at such an analysis. The secret to the Promethean emergence of the human species is hidden in plain sight. Every leap forward, each intervention that unlocked new potentials for upward human development, flowed from an act of Discovery, from a power that exists in the minds of human beings and is nowhere else to be found-as a self-conscious deliberate force-in the biosphere. As stated earlier, any competent investigation must begin with the axiom-shattering implication of the human species' mastery and deployment of the power of fire. This is where the essence-the being-of the human identity is to be found: the discovery of new universal principles which enhance mankind's power over nature and increase the population and productivity of the human species. None of the stunning breakthroughs accomplished by individual humans can be explained by the image of a Paleolithic brute scratching around in the dirt and learning through "sense-experience."
