The future of mankind is not carved in stone, so to speak... The
future is as yet undefined, but I can give you a general idea of what will
happen. First I will explain the basic premises of sentient evolution. A.
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
1. Gatherer
This stage is the first in any sentient species... and is simply the
people gathering their food and other materials... and then someone
discovers that throwing a rock at a small animal will often kill it, and
hunting is born.
2. Hunter
Stage 2 is a little more organized... now the people are hunting for
their food and clothing. The basic tools of this stage are the two most
easily obtainable objects: rocks and sticks. As the people become more
intelligent, they invent such things as the bow and arrow, spears, etc.
Coincidentally, this is also the stage in which the minor concept known as
'war' first began... well it isn't minor... One day someone gets tired of
running after his lunch, and decides to have some fruit, drops the seeds on
the ground, comes back next year, and look and behold, a small fruit tree
has appeared. He then tries it with other seeds, and gets similar results.
Agriculture is born.
3. Agriculture
Now, people are really getting smart and organized. They live in

aid in crop yield, and this sparks the next stage... Industry.

"A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will...
