Through our actions we sense the world. What we find comes from our full real life experience. Initially humans live close to plants and animals. From this comes comprehension of energies of the universe.

Herding by early free nomadic people in Africa comes with groups of humans living together protectively. From tending the wild and planting the first settled communities develop. With the earth rock as basis physical material crafts pottery and textiles initiate mineral pigment inorganic chemistry to complete human life artefacts. Crystal glazes glass enamel and faience continue this quest of ancient civilisations to make use of naturally occurring molecular processes.

The African Arabian civilisation use moisture from the atmosphere and rock sand to develop chemistry. All the natural minerals have their values recognised. This transfers to the European renaissance as the primary qualities of salts and metals come into human commerce. Exactly how the atmosphere and earth function enable enlightenment natural scientists to involve human life in the chemical molecular interactions of the planet.
