Quinn Minute: Evolution

Not long ago, I heard somebody say he didn’t think people were highly evolved. I disagree.

Humans possess remarkable powers. We can walk, run, swim, and even fly (if we hold a boarding pass). Other creatures aren’t so adaptable.

Fish can swim, but walk poorly. Birds can fly, but often misjudge altitude, and end up as hood ornaments. Some snakes can squeeze you to death…but who wants an affectionate reptile?

Bears possess power, but hibernate all winter, and miss some great parties. Rabbits multiply quickly, but can’t understand other math. Amoebas divide, but often separate from their better halves.
