Roots in Universal History

Research by Rolf Witzsche. The universal history of mankind is a fascinating subject to explore. By exploring it we discover ourselves as we search for our potential as human beings reflected physically, socially, and spiritually. We even explore it for our failures in realizing this potential. While mankind's history extends over 2.5 million years, the research book presented here focuses mainly on what may be termed the history of civilization, the civilization that unfolded since the end of the last Ice Age. And even in this context, the focus is primarily on the last millennium and to a large measure onto the modern period. This book is the introductory volume, of the research series, Discovering Infinity. The series was created over a span of 15 years beginning in the late-1980s.
