The greatest danger period- type IV (a) to IV (b)
 
  The greatest danger period for 6IV higher order life is the safe transition during which the knowledge possessed by the Civilization has the potential to destroy the globe from Type (a)- capable of a planetary self extinction to Type (b)- capable of planetary eco-survival, which we are not yet.  
  During this period civilizations type IV (a) discover the tools for genetic engineering and atomic physics. yet the sheer disruption and transference of wealth generated from new ideas threatens the very ecosystem from over population, biological warfare, thermonuclear warfare.  
  Large, closely packed populations are mostly under threat, either via disease, war or calamity ( weather change), comets/asteroids/terrorists.  
  It is during this period that most of those civilizations that survive this period, move away from genetic diversity and freedoms towards a more autocratic societies harnessing the behaviour of the Universe in a similar fashion to the rest of the Universe.  
  This is where many civilizations"sell their diverse soul" to achieve the benefits of Type IV Civilizations The result is that we see the grotesquely deformed features of other higher order life in the local region that modified themselves and their technologies to achieve their goals, but in the process lost what it is like in many respects to be purely emotional beings.  
  It is almost unheard of for a Type IV (a) Civilization to leap to a Type VI Civilization unless they acquire a dramatic improvement in their level of awareness before major genetic engineering and social controls begin in earnest. This is precisely why the model UCA is so important.
