Disclaimer:I am a very religious person (kinda) and so obviously I believe in the creationist theory. The idea of evolution is quite interesting but I wouldn't like to live my life thinking that monkeys are among my ancestors.
Chicken are today's dinosaurs. I have never laughed so hard in my life! From gigantic, powerful, carnivorous and fear inducing creatures to what I put in my sandwiches (with lettuce,tomatoes,cheese and mayonnaise...mmm...now I'm hungry). Its so unfair to the dinos...they have such underachieving successors :). Maybe one day chicken shall acknowledge their ancestry and rise up against us. Or maybe they already tried but our superior technology crushed their resistance (think about it...bird flu...chicken have learned the art of biological warfare.)
Evolution seems to be very unfair...it decided that some monkeys should remain monkeys while other monkeys stop being so hairy,walk upright and write books about how much better they are than other animals. I have always wondered how primates reacted when that first human-like monkeys were born. Did they think that they were retarded babies? Did it happen one by one or were all the babies of certain generations suddenly different? Did the primates that weren't evolving feel left out or were they just thinking, "Your cousin is a FREAK!"? Did the evolved primates copulate with the un-evolved ones to form romantic drama-esque scenarios?
** girl primate(obviously,she's the evolved one):oh Alejandro! We cannot be together! My mother says that you have not yet mastered the art of using your opposable thumbs!
boy primate: (picking flea out of his ear and eating it) eeeeeeeeeep!**
Come to think of it...that scenario is not so different from what happens today. Just replace the 'eeeeep' with a 'what?'.Hehe...oh yes I did :)
Back to the matter at hand. Evolution is a BITCH! So in the next couple of millenia will there be a class of super-humans who will treat normal humans like animals? Will the chicken reclaim its past glory? Should we fear the rise of the man-eating chicken? This and more next time on regional geographic (see what I did there?), a totally biased view on the earths past, present and future.
