*For much of history, religions have monopolized the question of humanity's existence. For them, the enigma was easy to solve. The gods would have placed you on Earth before telling you how to behave. Today, scientists have a clearer idea of the true history of creation. You now know a lot about how mankind was born. The story of our existence, very different from the one imagined by theologians, has proven to be very close to the history of other species. These have, like mankind, evolved into more or less advanced societies. What are the forces that have allowed you to be as you are today?
