Why should Earth’s destiny among other races of the universe be any different?

For humanity the transformation from savagery into civilisation can only be led by heroes and geniuses, and new inventions, like the concept of zero, the first books and the use of metals, comes at a heavy price.

To add to the hardship of the tribes on the Peninsula, the climate is changing, the game of the woods are few, and many predict a great hunger will come.
