                  Introduction:  A most dramatic period in the life of the planet.

  Never before have there been so many large animals of a single species, as humans. In this first
 lecture I review the extraordinary rise of our species and what this could mean for the future. We
  are also the first and only species that is aware of its situation and is having to consciously
                                          control itself.
