20.8
A general summary of the concept of civilization
 
  In Chapter 15 Self Aware Life of UCA, we defined the sixth and final level of all matter as being Higher Order Biologics of which the species Homo Sapien sapiens ( human beings) may be classed.  
  As you may recall, we defined Higher Order Biologics as being those lifeforms with sufficiently complex neural systems to generate self-consciousness and the means of language and information storage for learning and communication. While the human species shares a great many similarities with other species such as Chimpanzees and Gorillas, only the human species on the planet Earth appears to have developed sufficiently complex conscious abilities to recognize, communicate and store information via various symbolic languages.  
  We defined the six levels of higher order biologics as being:  
 
 6 Levels of Higher Order Biological Life
 Positive  Negative Type Civilization
I - Masters of a colony and language
II - Masters of a Region
III - Masters of an Empire (this is where all our civilisations are at the moment)
IV - Masters of a Planet
V - Masters of A Solar System
VI - Masters of a Galactic Quadrant
 
20.8.1 Timeline of development from Type I to Type IV  
  In terms of mapping the development of the human race using the system described above, is the analysis of steps from Type I Civilizations to Type IV Civilizations.  
 

As we will discuss, there is no clear start time for Type I civilizations, certainly no evidence as to the definitive ground zero, the very first settlement that proves itself categorically and unequivocally as the starting point for humanity.

 
  What is clear is that humanity evolved to Type II Civilizations sometime over 8,000 years ago.  
  Type III Civilizations did not emerge until the empire of Alexander.
