MAN BECOMING MORE

About the Book

This book of short Science Fiction stories was written with my ideas of the direction mankind might take to avoid extinction as a spices. Over the billions of years that life has existed on this planet millions of life forms have evolved and passed into the dust of history because of the constant major and minor extinction events through out Earth’s history that wiped out each new creature that had evolved in the past. Each new form that survived possessed a more and more complex nervous system. The development of a central nervous system, a brain, that became more and more complex which gave each new spices a better chance to survive and so it was with mankind. These stories suggest some path ways that men might follow on the ultimate goal of become a species capable of exploring and emigrating into this vast galaxy.
