[1] …Besides God planted a garden in Eden, eastwards, and placed there the man he had shaped. So God grew, from the soil, every tree desirable to be seen and good as food and also the life tree in the middle of the garden and the tree of good and evil knowledge […other]
Man’s adventure on the planet earth begins with the Original Sin, that is with the evolution from anthropomorphous monkey to Homo herectus passing through Australopithecus africanus and Homo habilis [….other]
Let’s not forget it was a bearer of light gene, that is of consciousness and knowledge and so a gene linked to the intellective functions of the encephalon. Just as we have seen to do to other fragments of Dna, such as viruses, since it was a part of nature’s intelligence, it intended to create, with man, a survival machine which, with an intelligence of its own, could emancipate from nature’s intelligence. This way the gene was a rebellious angel as it rebelled against Nature-God. [….other]
[2] The earth colonization process was completed about in 10,000 B.C. According to a big virologist in this precocious phase of human existence, from the beginning of Pleistocene till 10,000 B.C., infections caused by microorganisms which adapted themselves to live on man, were practically inesistent. Only when agriculture replaced food picking and larger and permanent communities took the place of small wandering gangs, a viral accidentally acquired infection got an opportunity for large transfers to other people and to develop a typically human disease.

[4] Contemporaneously the discovery of the first vaccines the vital revolution, the one that was called like that by some authors, started. Until then there had been periods, even long ones, of demographic growth but they stopped dramatically and a sudden increase of death rate brought back world population nearly to the start point of growth moments.

[6] Nearly 100 years have passed from that epidemic, but the images of those days when everybody, but really everybody, wore masks still impress us. Nowadays hundreds maybe thousands dead have been necessary before OMS could acknowledge the importance of this form of prevention.
[7] Very recent works, among them the very beautiful Factfulness by Hans Rosling, have deduced that the exponential growth of human population tends to stop since the more economic well-being increases the fewer children women spontaneously have. According Rosling, in 2070, world human population, after getting to 11 bilion people, will stop its growth. It isn’t here the seat where to explain why, let’s only say that the number of children decreases with the growth of economic well-being. […other]
