The Mineral Eaters oleh Beck Anamin

One could think of The Mineral Eaters as a mosaic of the knowledge in books separately portraying the evolutions of the universe, the planet, life, and our species. While portraying evolution from the moment the universe seed opened, the author depicts major mysteries, and points to unresolved issues. The first chapter begins with a personal perspective on competing scientific 'encampments,' truth seeking, and the equivalence of the 'God' of religions, the 'Absolute' of philosophers, the 'Quantum Vacuum' of scientists, and the 'emptiness' of others; from there, the book represents all such concepts with the symbol Õ. An evolution timeline that begins with the emergence of the universe from the Õ existence is a major theme. It proceeds to steps leading to the Big Bang, formation of space and matter, and the assembling of the cosmos. Next, is the evolution of our planet and its hosting of life. The development of simple and then complex life forms from the early population of bacteria becomes a fascinating story. The timeline winds through many species to the eventual arrival of the apes, hominoids, hominids, and the Homo toolmakers. Observing this period of evolution brought a new understanding of a wondrous, awe inspiring 5-step cyclic process of evolution that continually repeats (stabilizationthreat interbreeding mosaic offspringconsolidation to speciescontraction of speciesstabilization). The spectacular worldwide spread of Homo erectus (dubbed as Nomad), leads to the suddenness of a common body frame in all mosaics (dubbed as Anatomics). Anatomics quietly become defacto Homo sapiens (dubbed as Eden People). It does not take long for the species to become the "Mineral Eaters." A surprising revelation came about during a summation: the evolution of new forms of life has steadily accelerated over its billions of years. That pace could lead to a next step in the near future; projection into the future identifies the threat that could trigger it.
