We read about his first weapons, and the discovery of fire and speech, his first home and how he learned to cultivate the land and to tame certain animals. How he became a farmer and stock-farmer and made his house out of branches and stones. In time he discovered writing, stitching and later on he studied philosophy, mathematics, poetry, sculpture. He organized his life, he took part in the election of a government and made laws. He started to use animals to carry things as well as a means of transport.
