Humankind has biologically evolved for a long time. Genome research has found that Homo sapiens or modern humans result from gene exchange between different species like Neanderthal and Homo erectus. Unlike animals, humans completed walking upright. The only living things on Earth hold up their head to the sky and step on the ground with two feet. Although the lifestyles of modern people slightly hinder the right posture, we have biologically completed evolution.

If so, what do humans live for 21C? Mankind has existed to cultivate and enhance knowledge. Accumulating knowledge cannot be done by animals or gods, only by homo sapiens. Therefore, human beings use language and have short- and long-term memory. Memory and language enable us to communicate and improve our knowledge beyond time and space, which thus develops technology and culture. And then it is time for us to think about mental evolution. Outwardly we are of the same human form, but each of us has different standards of living, ranging from egoism to altruism. In other words, we are evolving away from animal instinct to mental maturity.

Thus, a developed environment based on knowledge urges us to live an altruistic life. That is also why knowledge has been widened and deepened so far. It seems that the time has come for us not to be a slave to the flesh like beasts, but to accomplish spiritual evolution and then to become real decent humans. This book will describe who we are and why we were born as human beings and the quality and orientation of new humankind that will emerge after COVID-19.

Furthermore, I expect this book could fill the gap which men have been making by collapsing existing common-senses for us to become mentally mature. And this book will present the humanity of the future and introduce a methodology to be new mankind. I will not provide further information about the great men mentioned in this book. Their achievements deserve praise. However, I do not want readers to be overwhelmed by their authority and jargon or to adhere to the concepts they had established. It is only the knowledge of that day. With that knowledge, we need wisdom now.
