Seven earth-like exo-planets in terms of size, density and solar-radiation orbiting their dwarf-star (sun) in TRAPPIST-1 Solar System 40 light-years away whereby three hang in the 'habitable zone' {in relative proportional-dimensions to earth from its sun} indicating they can support 'liquid'-water on the surface making them potential destinations for technogeneticultural anatomically-modern postranshominization civilizations to colonize for habitation should a catastrophe threaten us.

CULTURE: Society and Religion.
Life is so old on planet earth and the solar system at large so much than time which happens to be a by-the-way-affair discovery and modification in to the present Jan-Dec Cycles. Hey, man is the worst of animals because he destroys massively at a very first rate the ecosystem and life.In the old stone-age times man was living in a real jungle without a piece or slab of cement any where, you get the picture I am trying to paint?
Man was a Hunter-Gatherer fisherman and he had neither developed civilization. People in the strict sense of the term had not yet developed personality nor the faculties of their minds and were behaving like the beasts in the wild. There was neither domestication of animals or plants. Man lived in the caves in small pockets of communities that differed in numbers as determined by the proximity of the next cave in the forests surrounded by the deep mysteries that beheld the imagination of everyone,including the indigenous and the stranger/alien/foreigner. The communities were caught in the "spell" that surrounded the rivers and the lakes and the vast oceans and the valleys and the range of hills that demarcated the tribal borders and the magnanimous mountains that had stood the test of time.
Nowadays present man is so different if the dead woke from their graves they would be shocked-back to their graves automatically, there and then ,just at a mere glimpse and say through a simple presentation of a lap-top and some live video footage of different parts of the planet earth which means quiet a lot from the term the world, denoting more of caucus of United Nations as aired by the different news channels.
Take Religion for instance; there were no rituals to commemorate even the birth of a new born baby or the passing away of people, humanity goes that far back! Different cultures of reverence and worship grew and developed thousands/millions of year later. The Special Theory of Creation as opposed to that of The Big Bang Theory logically concludes that the seven days of/in creations were anywhere in the range of millions of years that saw the coming and passing of the Glacial and Ice Ages that exhibited the likes of the mammoths and the mythical flying dragon that was slew by somebody in the mythologies. Remember Jurassic Park?,Yes those were the days I was talking about when even man had not yet come in to the picture and a lot of other plants and animals.
The Seas, the oceans and space had not yet been conquered, there were no homesteads and that is the picture resembling the the scenario surrounding our dear Mr.Adam and Mrs.Eve Adam.We do not know Adams second name mind you and it would also do a great favor to remember that there were no marriage certificates or Cadillac limousines called upon by the gods and goddesses nor best men nor brides maids,just the two somewhere in the middle of amazon or the Masai Mara. The two major Religions originated from and at a particular time and place. Different languages had not even come in to being and there were only what could be described as mere squirks and shrieks.Organized society in terms of government and the constitution of laws ordering the conduct and behavior of man hadn't come into being either nor developed. The air waves were filled with the sound of drums coming from across the valleys and the sloppy hills and sometimes you had to use a trumpet made from a mammoth's horn, there was no such thing airtime or broadcasting stations. People consulted mediums/oracles {shamans and high priests} whilst and wars were fought with bows,arrows, spears and masks. Clothes in their present meaning were substituted by a thin string around the waist with only a tree,bush or herb leaf cover, i.e. before hide replaced the leaves. The human race indeed comes a long way and it's quiet surprising that at present there are so many wars and conflicts the world over due to differences in comprehending and appreciating the fact that we all ascend back to a common ancestor as shown by the similarities in common themes across the religious spectrum as well as structural/psychological similarities in languages/culture.If only we could all the world-over realize that we are the image of one old ancestor we could be able to live happily together easily tolerating our differences without the need of demarcations or weapons of mass destruction for that matter , don't you think so?
