Man is descended
from a hairy, tailed quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits.
In the long history
of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and
improvise most effectively have prevailed.
It is not the
strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.
The mystery of the
beginning of all things is insoluble by us;
and I for one must
be content to remain an agnostic.
~Charles
Darwin
