The final part of the trilogy "An Anthropologist's Paleontology" by renowned Russian science popularizer Stanislav Drobyshevsky will tell the story of the emergence of intelligence, how, in less than seventy million years, we grew up, descended to earth, stood on our own two feet, picked up sticks and stones, became more intelligent, began to speak, began to write and read books, and how Humans emerged...
"We live surrounded by other people; we constantly see people around us and notice no one else. We live on a human planet. But we depend on bacteria, algae, plants, fungi, protozoa, insects, fish, birds, rodents, and many other creatures. Billions of connections over billions of years have woven the biosphere into a single whole. We cannot live outside the biosphere; we are part of it. We're not doing a great job yet: we're largely responsible for the mass extinction occurring across the planet, but we must work hard and improve. It's not for nothing that we proudly call ourselves "intelligent." Our task is to try not to destroy our habitat, but at the very least, to preserve life, and perhaps even to resettle it on other worlds."
