The Orangutan Skeleton
"Man has self-imposed a band on his own evolution"
-That Guy
Ever since the dawn of man, he has sought to control nature’s influence on his evolution thru technology. We invented tools; so not evolve claws and stronger jaws. We cooked our food to allow our stomachs to be more energy efficient. Now we use Pillz to disallow illnesses to make our populations stronger and more resistant. This is a great talent of man; but PFP wonders what impression will we leave millions of years in the future (when our remains are evaluated by aliens/or highly evolved roaches). Will our valiant attempts to control nature look as ridiculous as an orangutan with a pill in its chest?
