Full Circle
From the earliest knowledge we have been able to obtain, mankind has had a burning desire to tell his story. Regardless of whether you believe that we are a species of Simian origin, or if we came down through the lineage of the biblical Adam, they all wanted their story to be told. We have many different kinds of stories left to us. In the rainforests of South America there is a humongous rock wall that is covered in paintings of ancient people and animals and whatever else they thought worthy of sharing. Again, we find these on walls in North America as well, and in caves in Europe and elsewhere. Man wants to tell his story.
