To understand why the nature of man is different from other species, we must first establish what our differences are from the primate world we physically evolved from. Our closest ‘relatives’ the apes, gorillas, and chimpanzees are like Man, family orientated, having respect for the hierarchical order of age and experience and are protective of their environment to ensure the safe upbringing of their young and provision of food. They do not desire to dominate other species or their like and will only kill or disable to protect their kind and the territory which enables their way of life. Their memory is instinctually formed from community needs. Their ego which is part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and unconscious is instinctually driven by their ancestral nature.

Human beings will go further to engage and unify with different kinds of people. They practice the hierarchy of blood ties but will not allow procreation to govern hierarchies of order considered necessary to defend the interests of like-minded need. They have an innate desire to dominate and control other species, and memory goes far beyond the need to remember place, person, and life-giving support. The ego that mediates between the conscious and unconscious is guided by two concepts which often war with each other, namely a need to understand rights and wrongs and the belief in their self-creation; I am what I am.

Whilst the environment engenders Man’s survival instinct so also does his self-awareness which ultimately governs his survival needs. It is evident from recorded history the ego of Man is intent on self-creation. Whilst conceptual values are broadly common across all ethnically different populations, conscious interpretation to effect the superego varies widely.  Whilst Man’s instinctual nature to survive is primarily engendered by the environment, it is the ego which decides the cause of threat, the outcome of which will always be predicated by the awareness of Self as understood by the ego.

Because the ancestral nature of Man is elemental in origin it means that the id -source of all his instinctual expressions can never be fully rationalised. In practise Man’s rational mind is constantly attempting to balance the promotion of his superego with the instinctual irrational impulses that are generated by his ancestral heritage.

The result? He is continually in conflict with himself, which is why history keeps repeating itself, or as some would say he never learns….

The Darwinian evolution theory states that species evolve over time through natural selection, where advantageous traits increase an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction. Molecular biology and genetics have confirmed physically formed evolutionary relationships, such as the close genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees and acknowledges all living organisms share common ancestors, but the sciences are unable to explain how the uniqueness of man’s evolution was caused or why his egocentric development is so markedly different to our nearest physical ancestors. Survival of the fittest does not give an adequate answer. And so it follows his relationship with the environment is different to all other individualised life species.

In addition to individualised species, perennial plant life is by far the most widespread kind of life on Earth. Man does not describe it as having consciousness as he defines that only able of a species who is consciously aware of evolving self-creatively; the ‘I think so I am’ argument. Perennial plant life and its interactivity with the elements of fire, water, air, and earth have a major influence on Man. In accordance with seasonal life cycles, weather conditions, and cosmical influences, the perennial life world can undo and destroy Man’s physical creations.

And as Man’s sensorial nature is directly influenced by environmental changes they do affect the balance of the mental and emotional order of his mind. It is accepted many species have conscious awareness of impending change, both internally and externally before they become physically fact. Man however is overly dependent upon the rational mind to advise conscious awareness and will dismiss or repress the instinctual response which is trying to advise him.

His inability to consistently channel instinctual awareness is entirely due to the development of his rational mind which restricts the id of his consciousness the ability to express awareness of his ancestral memory, implicit to his DNA. This points to a fundamental difference between himself and other forms of Earth Life, all of whom maintain awareness of their ancestral mind as expressed by their instinctual nature.

Is it possible that some form of unearthly life affected the development of Man, and were causal of the difference between himself and other forms of Earthly life? We know the Earth has historically been impacted by meteors, fireballs, solar flares, and planetary gravitational pulls, altering land and sea masses, their vibrational nature absorbed into the Earth’s crust, but such physical and neo-physical phenomenon would also have influenced all other life forms, including our nearest ancestors.

To understand why humans are a uniquely different species and regard themselves as the Overlord of all other Earth forms of life we need to understand the nature of his consciousness.

Scientific research has been said to say some individual species don’t know they exist because they don’t possess reflective consciousness, i.e., the ability to know the self, and because they are driven by and totally possessed by the id. We should not accept this analysis because the instinctual self as manifested in a moving form exhibit both physiological and behavioural responses ultimately aimed at propagation which is compulsively selective. This means that vertebrates have awareness of what their need demands and that is a form of reflective consciousness.

                And any form of reflective consciousness, whatever the species, is a form of mind that interacts between the id and the superego. So, for example because a fish can feel pain it does so because it possesses reflective consciousness. Some animals, including our nearest mammalian world relatives the chimpanzees have well-developed egos, a strongly developed interaction between their id and Superego which for them is a function of their societal memory and parental standards.        

So how does Man’s reflective consciousness, the awareness of self, differ from his nearest mammalian relatives? In our own terms we describe our consciousness as the awareness of one’s mental states arising from the interactivity of the ego enabling the evaluation of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. And this differs in one critical aspect to the highest form of ego development in our nearest genetically comparable species, the chimpanzee, namely it is the ability to be selectively aware of our own mental states and decisively able to change their order and priority. Whereas the chimpanzee capacity to change order and priority is governed by the id’s memory reception. To put it another way their behavioural responses are predictable.

It is not because human brain is three times larger, but because it operates differently. Recent studies have shown that whilst we share anywhere from 96-99% of our DNA with the chimpanzee there are areas which instead of producing proteins, act by changing the formation and tactics of protein producing genes, which in simple English means humans have a DNA structure that enables thinking!

Am I saying that Chimpanzees don’t think? No I am not. What is different in Man is his ability to reason, whereas the chimpanzee only considers and decides on need. When human beings reason they invoke the order of their self-centred ego, which is forever unsatisfied with the responses!

The Beginnings of Man -Part 1

The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?

The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. The DNA of all earthly forms of life, Amniotes, Synapsids, Mammals and  Primates are present in Man, which is clear proof that the birth of Man was earthly by nature.

Man describes himself as more evolved than any other form of earthly life, and that is an assumption based on having 20 times more DNA than a chimpanzee, able to express his consciousness self-aware, and knows his rational nature is not shared in any superior way with our nearest primate ancestors. It is an assumption because after you allow the knowledge we have acquired in researching our DNA and the genomes of other species, there is still more unknown than known of the purpose and action of DNA in Man. Our self-interested view of other species assumes Amniotes, Synapsids and some mammals don’t know themselves because they have (as we say) no self-awareness.

                Physics only began to accept in the 20th century the root nature of energy is not physically based. The huge spatial state in the atom between physically identifiable neutrons, protons, and electrons, previously described as ‘space’ manifests Black Matter influenced by an unknowable force now called Dark Energy, both of which influence the functional nature of Light Matter. Whilst Astrophysics and Particle Physics can provide evidence of Black Matter and point to the existence of Dark Energy their true nature continues to elude definitive understanding.

Understood or not it throws into question the evolutionary nature of all forms of life, not least being Man. Man is undoubtedly different and able to control the development and action of other species in the Light Matter world of Earth but is he truly aware of his own design and purpose? The physical nature of Man has evolved from the branch of primates known as Haplorhini that subsequently split, separating the New-World monkeys and apes from the Old-World monkeys and apes 30 – 40 million years ago. The distinctive features of the Catarrhini apes and monkeys with downward pointing nostrils found in Africa and Asia clearly indicate they were the ancestors of Hominoidea linage of apes that were evolving 25 to 30 million years ago who are more directly our ancestral lineage.

Early man’s existence is evidenced by discoveries in the Middle East that date from 17 million years ago, and onward into the Neanderthal and Denisovan periods between 430’000 and 25’000 years ago. Cataclysmic changes that altered land masses and seas and long periods of extreme temperatures causing the demise of dinosaurs and many other primates would have destroyed some forms of early Man. The environment was a major influence determining that only the fittest survived, but was that due their intelligence as well as physical hardiness? Whilst we can be reasonably sure with DNA evidence how a hybrid form of Man become the Modern Man, science cannot read from physical remains how their minds behaved.

Evidence from early forms of human recorded communications (albeit these are described as Myths and Folklore) posit the existence of human civilisations in Lemuria, Atlantis, Hyperborea (north polar region), and Adamos (south polar region) in the pre and post Deluvian period which approximates to the ending of the Younger Dryas age 13’000 to12’000 BCE.

This ‘evidence’ which has mainly survived in myths, folklore, symbolic writings, and physical building remains, in the post-diluvian epoch clearly advises a difference of evolution between their inherited societies and the hunter gatherer communities of men who lived in the same and subsequent periods of history. This dichotomy cannot be resolved by tracing alternate routes of human evolution from the known history of Earth life development.

Scientifically we cannot confirm the existence of these ancient civilisations, but neither can we cannot entirely debunk the mass of archaeological evidence of intelligent human societies that predate recorded history and show the existence of intelligent beings on Earth prior to the cataclysmic floods that occurred following the end of the last major glacial period known as the Last Glacial Maximum 20’000 years ago.  As Earth’s climate gradually warmed, the glaciers in the north of North America, Europe and Asia began to melt. Vast quantities of water flowed back into the oceans. Over thousands of years, sea levels rose steadily. Between 15’000 and 8’000 years ago sea levels rose rapidly enough to flood huge areas of land across the globe.

Stories of the flood appear in many cultures, such as the ancient Mesopotamian epic known as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the biblical account of Noah’s family and of animals saved from the flood, the story of Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, who survive a world-destroying flood sent by the gods. In Hindu tradition, a similar story describes Manu being warned by a divine fish that a great flood will soon destroy humanity. Flood narratives are also in the  folklore of the indigenous cultures of South and North America, Australia, Africa and Asia.

In all these stories and myths evolved Beings were (a) aware of the floods before they happened, and (b) they taught the Homo Sapiens survivors how to reclaim good soil, domesticate plants and trees, learn building techniques, mathematics, astronomy, and the ability to record their actions in symbolic forms of writing. It is following the great floods that Man as we know him today began to evolve. The intelligent Beings of these myths are recorded as human-shaped Beings with God-like powers, and it was their foresight that saved Modern Man from destruction by appointing emissaries such as Noah in the Bible and Utnapishtim in the Mesopotamian myth how to survive the flood.

The earliest form of recorded history speaks of Gods interacting with humans, and in some accounts birthing gigantic forms of Man with powers able to harness and control the elemental order of the cosmological Earth. The only anthropologic evidence of giants is of primates who lived in subtropical Asia from about 2 million years ago until roughly 330,000 years ago. Upwards of 10 feet tall the (Gigantopithecus blacki) such palaeontological evidence we have indicates they were of the genus of Ape.   However, what we do know is Homo Erectus lived in the same period and they may have physically mated. But we have no evidence to suggest their evolution or a hybrid form continued to the Younger Dryas period, the era when the ancient civilisations referred to are said to have occupied large land masses prior to the great flood, however giant men are recorded to have lived both prior and post the great flood.

Man can be said to have become Man when his conception became individualised by the form of ego he has, making him different in consciousness to all other species of Earth life. The consciousness of the individual forms of mammals, Invertebrates, Amphibians, Reptiles, Fish, and Birds are all instinctually  developed, the expression of their conscious nature and the awareness of their light form self is governed by the inner characteristics of their species. What one could call their group nature.

Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?

Part two continues to seek answers to this question…
