Humanity, the Evolution Revolution

Humanity, the Evolution Revolution

Humanity. There is a long and winding line

which stretches from the beginning to this

place we’re in today. The insect, reptile,

fish and mammal, should they have the

capability to explain, could rightfully claim

the same. And too, the flowers, grasses

and trees could state their plea had they

been endowed with such ability. Uniquely,

mankind was infused biologically with

reason, the uncanny ability to comprehend

the progression of life and its complexities.

In the natural order of things, all have pro-

pagation and survival of the species pro-

grammed into our DNA. Humanity, is the

only genus who gives himself reason to go

beyond reproduction in order to multiply

and continue his kind. Realizing math and

science were too cumbersome for my cere-

bral acuity, I developed a fervor for the arts.

And beyond my original design and utility

for procreation, I have given myself practical

reasoning to press on. Some of my anthropo-

logical kinsmen have taken to other mothers

of invention: Some have become royalty,

holding power and sway over societies; some

dictate their will and make war. Inventors and

scientists extend and enhance or desecrate our

lives. Lawyers and politicians, well, some are

meant to obfuscate and aggravate our tenuous

earthly situation. Ever sit awash in serenity on

a clear and sunny autumn morning, contem-

plating all the natural and man-made which

surrounds you in the everyday? Ah, Humanity.

Here we are strung along this long and twisted

line somewhere between simple reproductive

utility and the complexity of our self-worth

and reasoning. That’s where the Ego comes

into play with the omnipotent gods of our

own imagining to lift us up beyond reality.
