EXCERPT



CHAPTER 1:
The DNA in the first bacteria would ultimately give rise to all the plants and animals that have ever inhabited the Earth.

Changes in DNA that permitted adaptations to varied environments would lead to the solutions of problems that would permit the development of very diverse plant and animal populations.

Humans continue to answer the question about the purpose of life and continue to solve problems as they advance through life, their ability to solve problems is their great achievement.

CHAPTER 2:
Life after death, a concept that is cherished by humans, a concept that makes death bearable and life possible, a human concept that is accepted and needed by practically all humans who have ever existed.

The gods, spirits, and worlds of life after death should not govern human destiny, they are entities of human thought and should be governed by human thought.

The collective thoughts of masses of humans could very well be the gods of humans, they support and agree on the same religious matter, or is that democracy in action?

CHAPTER 3:
The creation of human gods and spiritual worlds to alieviate thoughts of great loss at the time of death is certainly an admirable quality put forth by the brain to relieve mental anguish.

The human brain found a way to ease the mental pain of death and invented gods and spirits that would not die at death but would live on in a spirit world overseen by gods.

CHAPTER 4:
The people of influence, the clergy, elders, peers, friends, and relatives, direct the lives of their fellow humans so that they develop a desire to become human bombs if called upon to do so.

If all humans on planet Earth came to the realization that humans made their gods in the image of humans, then humans would have no need to intice other humans to sacrifice themselves for a world that existed only in the minds of humans who had need to intimidate and terrorize.

CHAPTER 5:
The ova that give rise to embryonic stem cells would continue to live and benefit a fellow human.

There is a technique that could circumvent moral, ethical, religious, and political issues, and give back to women their right to decide what they deem appropriate for their ova.

That does not require legislation, decrees, or proclamations, only the humanity and wisdom of women.

CHAPTER 6:
The population of the United States consisted of peoples from all over the world and it was the amalgamation of these peoples and the freedom of opportunity made possible by previous generations of diverse peoples that brought out the brilliance of a heterogeneous population.

The people will intermingle and breed, and bring diversity to the population, genetic diversity, atmospheric diversity, and cultural diversity. When diversity enters a population, and the three diversities mix very favorable things happen, new ideas arise, new thoughts enter the picture, and innovation sets in.

CHAPTER 7
According to these accounts, highly pigmented skin and dark hair would be adaptations for blending with shadows.

Persons with dark skin and black hair would blend in well with the dark shadows, and the high contrast provided by the bright sun would render these persons practically invisible from even relatively short distances.

It is unavoidable, pigment in the skins of humans is an adaptation to shadows or degrees of shade. In the northern hemisphere, the development of light skin that could change to dark skin as the shade of trees and shrubs became darker or lighter with the changing seasons, serves to show that pigment in the skin is an adaptation to shade.

CHAPTER 8:
Did you ever wonder why people dont develop a loving relationship with everyone that they get to know?

Each individual has a pheromonic receptor or receptors that will only bond to the pheromones that match that receptor.

When these pheromones bond to their receptor they send a signal to the pleasure and love centers of the brain.

Hereditarily defined pheromones and their receptors can describe homosexuality and bisexuality.

CHAPTER 9:

After joining the faculty at Harvard Medical School I decided that it was time for me to stop the nasty filthy unhealthy habit of smoking cigarettes.

That Fall I met with a fairly nasty virus, the kind that attacks sinuses, nasal passages, throats, and lungs, the kind that makes smoking an unpleasant experience. That was when I cleaned my pipes for the last time, put them in a drawer and never smoked again. To my amazement I didnt have withdrawal symptoms of any kind and lost the desire to smoke, but I truly wanted to stop and did.

CHAPTER 10:
The Summer of my eithth to ninth year I noticed the beginning of a growth in the palm of my catching hand (left) down about an inch from where my two middle fingers joined my palm. This was almost right in the middle of the spot where the ball would meet my hand when I caught it.

I gave it a daily dose of iodine and then stopped, in the third week the wart fell out and was gone for good.

On one of these occasions I remembered what tincture of iodine did to warts and decided to try iodine on one of these herpes pustules.

CHAPTER 11:

When I was sixty-five I decided to see if I still had the brain power to make the Presidents Scholars List. That meant As in 15 units of classes for two semesters in the same university year.

I decided that four rather rigorous art history courses and a research project would sufficiently test the power of my brain.

Using my study scheme made it easy to get As in all five classes over two semesters. I made the Presidents Scholars List.
