Humanity's Second Chance

By Phil Ament

Humans did not originally evolve on earth. This is our second home, our second chance for life as the most unique species to ever evolve. Humans are the only known mammals to evolve intelligence in a galaxy dominated by Avianid races, like the dinosaurs that almost succeeded here on earth. Humans have evolved twice now, with the help and coaching of a symbiotic spirit race, called Teachers. Humans have a powerful gene for emotions that the Avianid races lack and desperately want. When humans were first discovered on a remote world, one Avianid race saw them as a threat to their dominance, but most others saw them as an opportunity to adapt this gene. On earth, humans have not yet discovered the power their emotions give them, but that day will come soon. This is based on a true story. Some events are fictional.

Phil Ament

I am a recently retired product design engineer with a desire to write sifi for 40 years. I usually have two or three stories in work all of the time. I am the electromechanical engineer that designed the camera used to shoot Avatar, the state-of-the-art kidneystone lithothriper, portable MRI, the first electronic cash register. race course betting terminals, and lots of military equipment for planes, tanks, and helicopters. I have just spent 45 years inventing things. Now I am inventing stories. It is just as much fun.
