Evolution?

What if the telescope had preceded the wheel?

And what if Columbus stayed at home and

took up painting instead? Had Pangaea held

together in one piece, would you be harvesting

a rice paddy in your backyard today? Say we

humans retained a prehensile tail...would earth

have rooted enough trees from which we all

could swing unimpeded? Paleontologists tell

us that life as we have come to know it may

have developed differently had the dinosaurs

survived that Chicxulub asteroid thing. I don’t

know about you, but I have this feeling that

new hair growth from the ears and nose as we

age is a developmental sign of ominous things

to come.

I won’t even bother getting into the bullets, bombs

and climate change debacles.
