The research and writing of the book, HUMANS, has been a time of discovery and revelation. The intention was to complete the fascinating story touched on in the author's first two books of how early Homo sapiens became modern humans. Humans today are anatomically the same as the early Homo sapiens who first appeared on Earth about 200,000 years ago; however, there is a difference. The evidence shows they were instinctively-driven creatures much like their Homo ancestors. The hypothesis was that the key difference was modern humans have the unique attribute of consciousness. This study confirmed that and discovered how and when the transition to modern humans was made. But, much more was uncovered, including the story of how Homo sapiens acquired the broad set of key attributes that makes humans unique, compared to all other living creatures. In addition to consciousness, other attributes were discovered, including how and when the Moral Code, our conscience, our sense of a god, plus many other attributes came into being. The study was scientific in nature using secular evidence, solid logic and reason to tell the story; however, it was clearly shown that the appearance of Homo sapiens on Earth was a supernatural event, which I deduced was an act of God, just as described in the Bible. Topics, like the origination of the moral code, have been debated by scholars throughout the ages with no conclusion. Now, with secular facts, solid logic, and reason, it is also shown that the acquisition of the moral code was a supernatural act of God. The realization of a novel logic principal, I call Non-Evolving Attributes (NEA), allowed this to be determined with a high degree of confidence. Simply stated, the NEA principal says that if you have a group of descendants from a common ancestor, randomly evolved through many different branches, isolated in time and/or distance, and that all descendants have an identical attribute, then that attribute could not have randomly evolved; because if it did, then it would have had to evolve in the same way in each branch, and that is essentially impossible. If that attribute did not evolve, then the original ancestor must have that same attribute. This is profound and very powerful. If you discover a group of identical attributes in a group of people isolated from each other, but with a common ancestor, then you know right away the ancestor had that same attribute. This same principal also showed the Origin-of-Life was a supernatural act of God. No evolution was involved. This important question has long been pondered with no answer until now. This study is a breakthrough in understanding how we humans came into being. This is an important subject and one that has been debated by scholars for ages and now we have an answer. These are profound answers to long held questions, and which could cause a great deal of controversy
About the Author: Wallace (Shaun) Shaunfield became a Christian in 2005, after 50 years of devout non-belief. Five months later Barbara, his Christian wife of 48 years, died. At that time four profound events occurred demonstrating God was present providing comfort. Shaun then realized he must share his experience with others who erroneously used science as the basis for their non-belief. A year later in April, 2007, Shaun made a personal commitment at a spiritual retreat to write his first book, "My God, Your God?". After three years of research, study and preparation the book was released. The book uses more logic and reason rather than theology as the basis for believing. Shaun completed his second book, "GOD Exists!" in 2012. This is a small book aimed at anyone with doubts or non-belief about God, just as Shaun developed at the age of 18. This book presents ten of the most profound evidences of God. If you have a friend or loved one who has doubts, this book would be the ideal tool to approach them without upsetting the relationship. Just gently ask them what they think about the book Shaun now has competed his third book, "HUMANS", the story of how early Homo sapiens became modern humans. Using secular facts and a new logic tool, Shaun shows that consciousness and the primary human attributes were present in early humans. However, since the early humans were primarily instinctive driven creatures this was suppressed until about 10,000 years ago when agriculture was adopted and civilization began advancing. Shaun, a retired electrical engineer, worked in the research, development and design of semiconductor components. Family now includes three children and spouses, nine grandchildren, two grand spouses and six great-grandchildren. Shaun designed and he and Barbara self-built their modern, efficient, automated home of steel, glass and concrete. His other interests include Bible study, home automation, welded steel art sculpture, painting, music, photography, reading, and writing. Visit Shaun's webpage at MyGodYourGod.net.
