I now realize that being human is more of a state of mind that a state of genetics. Assuming that the first conherent thought of the Bramatattva ,i.e., 'the infinite' occured a million years ago, I would have to welcome Homo erectus into the human family. Also, knowledge of the waxing and waning of the influence of binding energy on conscousness puts a totally new light on bio-evolution. Althought the observations and conclusions of science based on adaption to nitch is quite correct, the bigger picture of the 'clearer and clearer relfection of cosmic conciousness' as a trend is not understood by science (yet). It may never be understood, because to fully understand evolution it is necessary not to leave out the factor of reincarnation.
