He considers, for instance, the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth (an eventuality which, top NASA officials told Wall, is only drawing closer).

In school, you probably were told that Cro-Magnon Man appeared about 35 thousand years ago and after 25 thousand years humanity finally got to the Stone Age. We stayed there for another 7 thousand years to get to something called the primitive Bronze Age and then in the past 5 thousand years almost every bit of civilized development occurred. Your teachers told you it happened so you didn’t even question it. Unfortunately, most of that was a lie. Researchers, anthropologists, archeologists, historians, scientists, teachers, and even clergy all knew it or should have known. OK! Some were ...
