A Unification Story.

3.42 Billion BCE
3.42 to 3.7 Billion BCE

The earliest known life on Earth are fossilized microorganisms found in hydrothermal vent precipitates. Currently dated to about 3.42 billion BCE. These microorganisms were prokaryote cells. Single celled organisms with no nucleus and had early simple DNA. More complex DNA in a nucleus evolved about 1.5 billion years later in Eukaryotic cells, circa 2 billion BCE.

Idea 2.

A Unification FAQ.

No, studies show that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the native-born population. Contrary to popular belief and widespread stereotypes, the answer is a resounding no. A wealth of research and studies firmly support this fact. Areas with higher populations of undocumented immigrants often have lower crime rates. This counterintuitive truth cuts through the common narrative, revealing a different story about immigration and crime.

In fact, statistical analysis and law enforcement data consistently show that in communities with higher populations of undocumented immigrants, crime rates often remain the same or even decrease. This finding isn’t just a statistical anomaly; it’s a consistent trend observed across various studies and regions, indicating that the presence of undocumented immigrants does not fuel higher crime rates.

Moreover, the misconception that the border problem exacerbates criminal activity overlooks the reality that the majority of undocumented immigrants come to the U.S. seeking better opportunities for themselves and their families, not to engage in unlawful behavior. Their primary aim is to work, contribute to society, and live peacefully, aspirations that mirror those of native citizens.

Idea 3.

A Unification FAQ.

Yes. Emperor Mansa Musa was the richest man in history, and yes, he was black. Born in 1280 CE, Mansa Musa was the king of the Mali Empire in West Africa. He was known for his extraordinary wealth, primarily due to the abundant gold and salt resources within his empire. In 1324, the renowned pilgrimage to Mecca by the 44-year-old devout Muslim caused quite a stir. Mansa Musa distributed so much gold that it destabilized local economies along his route. Prior to the European lead transatlantic slave trade, Africa had many centuries of up and down wealth and prosperity. Just like the rest of the world.
