This work attempts to present both history and science, with specific history and the science contribution by Dr. H. Leuenberger, in an effort to show where we have come from, where we are, and the direction in which to head and the destination we must make immediate progress towards.

Earth and all on it, which may be thought of as a system, is ailing because some of its individual components have been infected and the disease is spreading. In a family, when one or more members are not well, the unit does not function as it should. When that is the case, all members of the family should focus on helping the one, or those, with their crisis, understanding the detriment and using all scientific resources and knowledge of the problem(s) until it is solved and harmony restored. Understanding the health concern requires looking at past attempts and results and the latest knowledge about it available, i.e., history and science, respectively.

In this regard, in the ethical search for and presentation of truth, history, and science, are understood by educated people to be humanity's greatest resources. History, as it can most accurately be determined, and science, the empirical evaluation of the facts as they can be determined, must be the guides for where we go, next. Sometimes, all of the facts are not known, and an extrapolation or hypothesis may be drawn, some of this history does that allowing readers to form their own opinion. I am not sure a conclusion can be arrived at, there. Science, however, as reported by Dr. H. Leuenberger, offers potential solution to age-old problems of system failure that history is full of, and, perhaps, a brighter future.
