This book shines a provocative searchlight on humanity and the technology we carry in our heads and on our backs. All of our gaudy and high tech trappings are shown to be the answer to a long term need of Nature. Modern civilization is seen as the answer to life's desire to cast its seeds to the cosmos.

The three classical Kingdoms of Animal, Vegetable and Mineral ruled for billions of years before mankind. However, within these Kingdoms, there was no way to carry the precious seeds of life beyond earth to one or more new planets. A new Fourth Kingdom, a blending of Animal and Mineral, would be needed.

The thrust of this book is to prove that humanity's singular and primary role in Nature is as seed carrier to the Universe. The stakes are high. Life can be extinguished on this planet at any unknown time from any number of cosmic events, or environmental disaster on earth, or very probably minor variations in our sun, the nuclear fusion furnace which powers earth.

The consequences of failing to recognize this as our primary role in nature are shown to be the cause of a continuing dreadful scenario; war, terrorism, overpopulation, environmental crises and so on. A central noble cause to insure the survival of Earth's life is shown to be the answer to most of civilization's problems.

Our history and behavior, cultural oddities, indeed even our sexual emphasis and racial adaptations all point to our cosmic purpose.
