On a tiny mote in space called Earth, in an endless cosmic ocean, a creature has wandered out from the security of its cave. It looks up at a sea of stars and wonders what they are. Thus begins our story – a quest to find ourselves in this vastness of space and time. To understand just how immense is the journey begun by that long-ago creature, we should identify who he is. It is our homo sapiens ancestor, and it lived some 300 thousand years ago. Now that may seem to be an incredible amount of time. It isn’t. Not when you consider the time scale of the history of planet earth.
