How are things on earth?

Quite good! Our indoor animal project has succeeded beyond our expectations. The human beings as they are called now are getting ready for the next phase of evolution.

What genetic parameters were changed in the previous upgrades?

Five major steps were accomplished:

1. The neck was shortened and both eyes were placed in front making them vulnerable from behind and creating a need for building shelters. The apes, of course did not build homes. They just started living on trees.

2. The ability to stand erect and move on two legs in a balanced manner. It freed the arms to hold, carry and manipulate things. Experiments with Lemurs helped in establishing the balancing algorithms.

3. A set of pilot teeth to sample available food and second permanent set to suit the available food e.g. plant, vegetable, meat etc. The designing of the inception of a new set of bones in flesh a few years old took quite some time.

4. Delinking of cognitive process from ancestral info-base and cell allocation for new data from experience. This allows dumb parents to have brilliant offspring who innovate and develop new ideas. A partial linkage has been maintained to allow the development of tribal instincts useful for the safety of the young ones. The system needs review to reduce excessive divergence in personalities.

5. Association and correlation of sounds and images, allocation of memory for audio perception and control of vocal chords to develop ability of meaningful speech and literacy.

What have human beings achieved with these new faculties?
