This talk will show some interesting science objects and early human development dating back from some thousands to a few million years as dated by scientific methods. The evidence from Rift Valley in Kenya and Ethiopia to early settlements in The Philippines, Indonesia, China and Northern Europe etc. is absolutely fascinating and overwhelming. Relatively More recent developments from Mohenjo daro, Harappa and Babylon to Egypt and Taxila are evidence of human endeavour and resilience.
