Here’s the question. How did we homo sapiens get so smart so fast? If it were simply Darwinian evolution then alligators, sharks and sea turtles should be running things because they have been around longer than any other creatures. Something had to happen that launched our distant ancestors onto the fast track of intelligence and civilization. What was it? What could have such a profound effect on a selective collection of animals that they became sentient, self-aware individuals? 

Well, here’s one possible answer. The crew of the Lady of Heaven.
