Thanks Crow. Yes, your Three Questions - "What are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?" - are a necessary basis for reappraising the story of humankind.

My article dates from 2018 rather than 2012, in fact, not that this is of any relevance, since metaphysical truth is eternal and certainly doesn't change in the course of six years...
