Man is a fortunate species. The marvelous (and still
largely mysterious) complexity of the human brain
has gifted him with speech, language, and the power
of creative, abstract thought.
Over thousands of years our intelligence has given
us tools and technology, art and science, society and
civilization.
We now possess a treasure house of achievements
in which all of us can take a pride.
In this series we present and examine the greatest
achievements of mankind and superlative genius on
a grand scale.
